Why the Personal Project? (2:36 – 2:38) • The Personal Project is completed by all IB scholars in the world – approximately 400,000 scholars work on the Personal Project each year • It is a required component of the IB Middle Years Program • Scholars that choose not to complete the Personal Project will be exited from Harding’s IB Middle Years Program • The Personal Project is a “continuation requirement” to the Junior year • We believe it appropriately pushes our scholars and prepares them for the rigors of the Diploma Program in the Junior year
