IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)

At Smiling we are proud to be an IB World School, currently offering the prestigious Diploma Programme (DP). To provide a seamless, inquiry-based continuum of education for our students, we are excited to announce that we are now a Candidate School for the Middle Years Programme (MYP).

We are currently implementing the MYP framework across grades 9 and 10 (MYP4 and MYP5) as we work toward full authorization. This transition ensures that our younger students develop the research, critical thinking, and self-management skills necessary to excel in the Diploma Programme and beyond.

Smiling International School is a candidate school for the MYP. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
