State of the Art Results

Quality, State-of-the-Art Results

How well students do on current tests in no way correlates to how productive they will be in the workforce.

High productivity, on the other hand, though currently not a high-stakes focus of schools, often determines whether a person succeeds or fails in the workforce.

High-Quality Results with Real-World Application (Researchers are finding learning benefits for students who build authentic products with tools—whether they be sand castles, computer programs, documents, graphs, LEGO construction, , Engineering/Construction, etc.)

Personal Project

The IB Middle Years Program Personal Project is the student’s culminating passion project which
incorporates decision making and problem solving, as well as creating and reflecting on their
product’s outcomes and learning goals.
