The Middle School Curriculum 

Corpus Christi College is shaping a dynamic Middle School for Years 7-9 that provides an environment to engage, challenge, and create the learning opportunities that make school not only an educational, but a fun experience for our early adolescents.

Middle Schooling is a philosophy that includes the following principles:

The implementation of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) is the vehicle that will deliver these goals.  Its emphasis on critical thinking skills, values and interdisciplinary approach to education will prepare our students to be first class citizens while inspiring a true and broad based love of learning.  For more information on this programme visit: www.ibo.org
