What IS the Personal Project ?

What IS the Personal Project ?

The MYP Personal Project is considered the culmination of the students MYP journey. Students choose an Area of Interaction to use as a driving force for the project.

It is completed almost entirely out of class and students have approximately six to twelve months to create their projects.

It provides an excellent opportunity for you, the student to produce a truly personal and/or creative piece of work of your choice.

The personal nature of the project is important; the project should be based around a topic that motivates and interests you!
