The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP) is a nationally recognized program of academic rigor. Middle Years Program (MYP), for grades 6-10, emphasizes the learner profiles and focuses on an intensive study of core subjects integrating internationalism and areas of interaction: Approaches to Learning, Community and Service, Health and Social Education, Environment, and Human Ingenuity. Students study a variety of disciplines and how these relate. Schools apply for authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). The authorization process requires several years as the school trains staff, modifies the curriculum to IB specifications, and learns to implement the IB program at the level expected by the IBO. CMS currently has four authorized Primary Years Program (PYP) for grades K-5, four MYP for grades 6-10, and five authorized Diploma Programs. The remaining prospective IB schools are currently in the process of completing expectations for authorization.
