IB MYP and
Swiss Matura

IB MYP


The IB is a first-rate programme, one we are familiar with, and it prepares students well for a university like ours

Princeton University
SISD offers 4 language pathways to complete the MYP program.
Bilingual French/English pathway
Bilingual German/English pathway
English Language
English Language pathway of study includes Language and Literature – English; Language Acquisition (French or German); Arabic; and English will be the language of instruction for all other subject areas.
The final 2 years of the MYP, students start to specialize in selected areas of study in preparation for their Senior School (IBCP or IBDP), with additional curriculum projects that are designed to enable students to engage in extended self-directed investigation. The Community Project in Grade 9 and Personal Project in G10 enable students to demonstrate knowledge, learning skills and reflective processes that culminate in an action or product as a result of in-depth inquiry through their chosen global context. SISD students completing G10 may have the opportunity to sit for the IB MYP Certificate or the IB MYP Bilingual Certificate.
Swiss Matura
Swiss Matura (Prep) follows the Bilingual German/English pathway with the additional subject of Language Acquisition – French. This is currently available for students in the German bilingual stream (Grades 6 -8).
Le futur lieu de travail exigera des élèves qu'ils fassent preuve d'esprit critique, de créativité, d'esprit d'équipe, de communication et d'empathie, autant de compétences qui font partie intégrante des programmes de l'IB.
