OUR POINT OF VIEW ABOUT MYP • Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. - Gandhi • Daniela M.: It opens many opportunities and focuses in methods and values, which is something you can't learn in books. • Daniela A.: The MYP is helping us to improve our learning skills and to understand what an ideal student is. • Michelle: MYP is a great program that will benefit us during our school years and for the rest of our lives. • Laura: I think that MYP is very useful for times in our life where we will collide with the real world and real-life situations.
CONCLUSION • The MYP programme is designed to help us develop into excellent young adults in many ways. It will bring out personal confidence and thinking skills that will make us leaders within the community and caring global citizens.
