IB MYP: Personal Project and ATL Skills

IB MYP – personal project, ATL skills and key concepts

The Middle Years Programme

The IB MYP serves students aged 11–16. It connects academic rigour with real-world application through eight subject groups and Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills.

The Personal Project

In Year 5 of the MYP, each student undertakes an independent Personal Project. Students choose a topic of personal interest, set a goal, and produce a product or outcome. The project is assessed on three criteria: planning, applying skills, and reflecting.

ATL Skill Categories

  • Communication skills

  • Social skills

  • Self-management skills

  • Research skills

  • Thinking skills (critical, creative and transfer)

Key Concepts

MYP learning is organised around 16 Key Concepts (e.g. Creativity, Change, Communities) and Related Concepts in each subject. These frame deeper conceptual understanding.
