Personal Project IB

MYP students in their final year explore an area of personal interest over an extended period. It provides them the opportunity to consolidate their learning and develop important skills they’ll need in both further education and life beyond the classroom. It also helps them develop confidence to become principled, lifelong learners.

Elements of the personal project
– The personal project formally assesses students’ approaches to learning (ATL) skills for self-management, research, communication, critical and creative thinking, and collaboration.

Students complete three elements:
– product or outcome—evidence of tangible or intangible results: what the student was aiming to achieve or create
– process journal—ideas, criteria, developments, challenges, plans, research, possible solutions and progress reports
– report—an account of the project and its impact, to a structure that follows the assessment criteria. The report includes a bibliography and evidence from the process journal that documents students’ development and achievements.
