Wooster High School is excited to continue to grow our MYP program. For the 2024-25 school year, all 9th grade students will be focusing on Service Learning and Reflections in their Individuals and Societies classes, while 10th grade students will embark on their Personal Project. Students will have time during Seminar classes to work through the different stages of the Personal Project, which will be due on February 14th, 2025. Please contact me if you have any questions about IB MYP.

IB Middle Years Program (IB MYP)

Wooster has been an authorized MYP since 2016. Implemented in partnership with Vaughn Middle School, Wooster’s Middle Years Programme is a four-year program. Students begin the program at Vaughn Middle School, where they complete years 1, 2, and 3, and end years 4 and 5 at Wooster High School. Students who complete the MYP are well-prepared to undertake the IB Diploma Program (DP) or Career-related Program (CP) pathways starting their junior year in high school. Visit the official IB website for more information about the MYP.

MYP Grades & Parent Info Nights

Students are graded using MYP rubrics. The MYP grade will be a number 1-8. If you are interested in learning more about what the MYP program means for your 9th or 10th grader, please consider attending one of our IB 101 Nights in the Career Center/Library. 

Freshmen Service Learning

During their 9th grade year, students will work with their Individuals and Societies teacher and on their own to complete community service and reflections based on the 7 IB Learning Outcomes:

• Become more aware of their own strengths and areas for growth
• Undertake challenges that develop new skills
• Discuss, evaluation, and plan student-initiated activities
• Persevere in action
• Work collaboratively with others
• Develop international mindedness through global engagement, multilingualism and intercultural understanding
• Consider the ethical implications of their actions.

Sophomores MYP Personal Project

During their 10th grade year, students will spend approximately 25 hours developing a personal challenge or goal in order to build on their ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills and strengthen their research skills. The Personal Project is a great way for students to build skills and confidence, and helps students to earn off-campus passes and an academic letter. This project requires students to engage in the research process, which will be assessed in their Seminar and/or English class (research process assessment).
