About IB MYP

Where does the MYP fit in the IB journey?

The IB curriculum spans from age 3 to 19 across four connected programmes. The MYP is the critical bridge between primary education and the rigorous IBDP.

Career-related Programme

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11–16 across Years 1–5. It is built around eight subject groups, six global contexts, five categories of ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills, and three core components — Service as Action, Community Project (Year 3), and the Personal Project (Year 5).

Unlike the IGCSE or national curricula, the MYP does not use traditional percentage marking. Instead, every subject is assessed using criterion-based assessment — four criteria (A, B, C, D) each worth up to 8 marks, giving a maximum of 8 per criterion. The final subject grade is reported on a 1–7 scale.

The MYP builds the habits of mind — inquiry, analysis, reflection — that the IBDP demands. Students who are well-supported in the MYP make a significantly smoother transition into the Diploma Programme.

📊
Criterion-based, not percentage-based
MYP uses Criteria A/B/C/D (each 0–8) across all subjects. Understanding what each criterion rewards is the most important skill — and what most students don't learn until too late.
🌍
Global Contexts frame every unit
Every MYP unit is taught through one of six Global Contexts. Knowing how to engage with these conceptual lenses earns marks in both summative tasks and eAssessments.
🚀
MYP prepares directly for the IBDP
Students who master MYP inquiry, ATL skills, and the Personal Project adapt far more easily to IBDP Internal Assessments, the Extended Essay, and TOK.

Global Contexts

Six MYP Global Contexts

Every MYP unit is framed through one of six Global Contexts — giving meaning and real-world relevance to learning. Students must be able to engage with the Global Context in summative tasks and eAssessments.

👤
Identities & Relationships
Who we are and how we relate to others. Explores identity, beliefs, values, personal growth, health, wellbeing, and human relationships. Common in Language & Literature and PHE units.
🗺️
Orientation in Space & Time
Where and when we are in the world. History, geography, migration, civilisation, and exploration. Common in Individuals & Societies units and interdisciplinary studies.
🎭
Personal & Cultural Expression
How we express ourselves and appreciate others' expression. Arts, creativity, culture, entertainment, and aesthetic choices. Central to Arts and Language & Literature units.
🔬
Scientific & Technical Innovation
How we understand and shape the natural world. Science, technology, invention, digital society. Core to Sciences, Mathematics, and Design units.
🌱
Globalisation & Sustainability
How locally significant events have global implications. Climate, environment, economics, trade, and resource management. Central to ESS, Geography, and Economics units.
⚖️
Fairness & Development
What it means to be fair and just. Human rights, equality, political systems, access to resources, civic responsibility. Core to History, Business, and interdisciplinary units.
ATL Skills

Approaches to Learning — the five MYP skill categories

ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills are the learning habits that run through every MYP subject. They are explicitly assessed in summative tasks and form the foundation of the Personal Project report.

💭
Thinking Skills
Critical thinking, creative thinking, transfer, reflection. Analysing and evaluating information.
🔍
Research Skills
Information literacy, media literacy. Locating, evaluating and citing sources. Essential for the Personal Project.
💬
Communication Skills
Reading, writing, using language to communicate clearly in different contexts and formats.
🤝
Social Skills
Collaboration, interpersonal skills, managing and resolving conflict, peer learning.
📋
Self-Management Skills
Organisation, time management, affective skills, mindfulness, perseverance under pressure.
📌 ATL skills in the Personal Project
The Personal Project report explicitly requires students to reflect on which ATL skills they developed during the project — and provide specific, evidenced examples. Vague ATL references are the most common reason for low Criterion C (Reflecting) scores. Our tutors coach exactly how to write meaningful ATL reflections.
Personal Project

IB MYP Personal Project — Year 5

The most important MYP assessment

The Personal Project is completed by all MYP Year 5 students (age 15–16). Students choose a topic of genuine personal interest, plan a product or outcome, carry out the work over several months, and write a report of 1,500–3,500 words reflecting on the process.

It is assessed by teachers against three criteria and externally moderated by the IB. A strong Personal Project demonstrates ATL skills, engagement with a Global Context, and genuine critical reflection — not just a polished final product.

🎯
Criterion A — Planning (0–8)
Define a clear goal and global context. Develop a detailed, realistic plan. Identify prior learning and subject-specific knowledge needed.
Criterion B — Taking Action (0–8)
Demonstrate thinking skills and ATL skills applied during the project. Show decision-making, problem-solving, and initiative taken.
💡
Criterion C — Reflecting (0–8)
Evaluate the quality of the product against the initial goal. Reflect on how ATL skills were developed. Identify what you would do differently.

How MYP Is Marked

Criterion-based assessment — what it means

Every MYP subject uses four criteria (A, B, C, D) — each worth 0–8 marks. The specific meaning of each criterion changes by subject, but the structure is consistent. Our tutors coach students to answer specifically to each criterion descriptor.

A
Knowing & Understanding
Subject-specific knowledge and comprehension. Recalling facts, concepts, and applying them to familiar and unfamiliar situations.
B
Investigating / Thinking
Inquiry, research process, or analytical thinking depending on the subject. Planning investigations, formulating questions, gathering data.
C
Communicating
Organising and expressing ideas clearly. Using subject-specific language, notation, and conventions appropriately in written and oral tasks.
D
Applying / Evaluating
Applying knowledge and skills to real-world contexts or problems. Evaluating information, making judgements, and reflecting on findings.
How the 1–7 grade is calculated
Each criterion is marked out of 8. The four criteria totals are added together (maximum 32). This total is then converted to a 1–7 MYP grade using the school's boundary table. A 7 typically requires 28–32 out of 32. Our tutors target each criterion specifically — not just overall performance.

eAssessment

IB MYP eAssessment — Year 5

Year 5 students at participating schools can sit IB MYP eAssessments — external on-screen examinations that lead to the IB MYP Certificate. Our tutors prepare students specifically for the eAssessment format.

On-Screen Examinations
External
Timed digital exams for Mathematics, Sciences, Language & Literature, Language Acquisition, and Individuals & Societies. Questions are criterion-referenced — the same A/B/C/D structure but under formal timed conditions. Our tutors coach the specific question types and time management strategies for on-screen exams.
ePortfolio
Coursework
A digital portfolio submission for Arts, PHE, and Design. Students curate evidence of their learning process, product development, and reflection. The ePortfolio demonstrates mastery of ATL skills and criterion achievement over the year. Our tutors guide portfolio curation and reflective writing.
Interdisciplinary Assessment
Optional
An on-screen examination testing students' ability to make connections between two or more subject areas. Based on an interdisciplinary unit studied at school. Tests conceptual understanding, global context application, and disciplinary knowledge integration.
MYP Certificate
Qualification
Students who complete eAssessments earn the IB MYP Certificate — a recognised qualification for secondary education. The Bilingual Certificate is available for students completing eAssessments in two languages. Recognised by universities as strong preparation for the IBDP and as evidence of academic rigour.
Why Sev7n

Why Sev7n for IB MYP tutoring

1
Educators who know the MYP framework
Our MYP tutors are trained on the IB MYP framework — criterion descriptors, Global Contexts, ATL skills, and the Personal Project rubric. They don't just teach subject content — they teach students how to score against the specific MYP criteria their assessors use.
2
Criterion coaching — not just content
The most common MYP failure is strong content knowledge but weak criterion-specific responses. Our tutors analyse each task against the specific criterion descriptors and train students to write or present their answers to the exact depth and format each criterion requires.
3
Personal Project — full support
From topic selection and Global Context identification through to Planning documentation, Taking Action evidence, and the final Reflecting criterion write-up. Our tutors have guided dozens of Personal Projects across a wide range of subject areas and product types.
4
MYP to IBDP transition preparation
Students who are well-grounded in MYP inquiry, ATL skills, and criterion-based thinking adapt far more easily to IBDP Internal Assessments, the Extended Essay, and Theory of Knowledge. Sev7n's MYP programme explicitly builds the IBDP-ready habits that matter.
5
All 8 subject groups — one platform
Whether your child needs MYP Mathematics, Sciences, Individuals & Societies, or Language & Literature — Sev7n has experienced MYP educators in every group. No need for multiple tutoring platforms or agencies.
6
Sessions recorded on Sev7n LMS
Every session is saved to your family's dashboard. Students can replay explanations, criterion coaching walkthroughs, and Personal Project feedback sessions as many times as needed — especially useful before summative assessment deadlines.
Parent Stories

What MYP parents say about Sev7n

★★★★★

"My son was getting 4s and 5s in MYP Maths despite understanding the content. His Sev7n tutor explained that he was answering questions generally instead of specifically targeting each criterion. After just four sessions he understood exactly what Criterion A, B, C and D required. His grade jumped to a 7."

★★★★★

"My daughter's Personal Project report was a description of what she did — no Global Context engagement, no ATL skill reflection. Her Sev7n tutor rebuilt the report structure from the criteria up. She submitted with genuine confidence and scored 23 out of 24."

★★★★★

"We weren't sure whether to get MYP tutoring since it's not the Diploma yet. But our son's Sev7n tutor explained that the MYP builds exactly the skills the IBDP demands — and that starting early makes the DP transition smooth. He's now in Year 1 DP and it really shows."

★★★★★

"My child was anxious about eAssessment — she'd never sat a formal IB exam before. Her Sev7n tutor ran practice sessions specifically formatted around the on-screen exam structure. She went in feeling prepared rather than scared. We couldn't be more pleased with the support."

FAQs

IB MYP — frequently asked questions

What is the IB MYP and how is it different from IGCSE? +
The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) is an IB-designed curriculum for students aged 11–16 that emphasises inquiry, global thinking, and interconnected learning across 8 subject groups. IGCSE (Cambridge) is a subject-specific qualification-based programme with external exams. Key differences: MYP uses criterion-based assessment (not percentage marks), has no external exams until the optional eAssessment in Year 5, is framed around Global Contexts rather than syllabus topics, and explicitly develops ATL (learning) skills alongside content. Students at IB-authorised schools follow the MYP; IGCSE is common at Cambridge-affiliated schools. Both are strong preparation for higher education.
How does MYP grading work? +
MYP grading uses criterion-based assessment. Every subject has four criteria (A, B, C, D) each worth 0–8 marks. The total out of 32 is converted to a 1–7 grade using the school's grade boundary table. A grade 7 typically requires 28–32 out of 32. Unlike IGCSE or percentage-based systems, MYP rewards depth of response against specific descriptors — not just correct answers. Students who understand what each criterion descriptor requires typically improve dramatically within a few sessions of targeted coaching.
What is the MYP Personal Project and when should tutoring start? +
The Personal Project is completed in MYP Year 5 (age 15–16) and is assessed on three criteria — Planning, Taking Action, and Reflecting. Students typically start in September/October and submit in March/April. Tutoring is most valuable in the early stages — when students are selecting their topic, defining their Global Context, and writing their initial goal statement. Poor planning in September leads to a weak Criterion A and makes the rest of the project harder to recover. We recommend starting Personal Project tutoring support no later than October of Year 5.
Does Sev7n offer tutoring for all MYP year groups? +
Yes — Sev7n offers MYP tutoring for all five year groups (Years 1–5, ages 11–16) across all 8 subject groups. Our most common MYP requests are for Years 3–5 (ages 13–16), particularly for Mathematics, Sciences, and Individuals & Societies — and for Personal Project support in Year 5. We also support students preparing for MYP eAssessments (Year 5 external examinations). If your child is in Year 1 or 2 and you want to build strong foundations early, we offer foundational MYP support for those year groups too.
Should MYP students get tutoring or wait until the IBDP? +
Students who receive targeted MYP support — particularly in criterion-based assessment, ATL skills, and the Personal Project — transition into the IBDP significantly more smoothly than those who don't. The IBDP Internal Assessments, Extended Essay, and TOK all build directly on MYP skills. Waiting until Year 12 to develop these habits means learning them under the highest-stakes conditions. Starting in MYP Year 4 or 5 builds the skills at the right time, reducing stress and improving performance in the Diploma.
