About MYP

Middle Years Programme (MYP) at Tariq Bin Ziad Middle School

At Tariq Bin Ziad Middle School, we proudly implement the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP)* for students in Grades 6 through 10. Rooted in the globally recognized MYP framework, our program is thoughtfully localized to reflect Qatar’s unique culture, heritage, and educational goals.

Students engage in eight subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, Design, Arts, and Physical and Health Education. While international in structure, the curriculum is adapted to align with national priorities and values, with Arabic Language, Islamic Studies, and Qatari History woven meaningfully into the academic experience.

We foster interdisciplinary learning by designing units that connect knowledge across subject areas, helping students make real-world connections and deepen their understanding. Service as Action is central to our learning philosophy, encouraging students to become active, responsible members of their communities through meaningful service initiatives.

In the final year of the MYP, students undertake the Personal Project—a significant piece of independent work that reflects their interests, demonstrates their learning, and showcases the development of ATL (Approaches to Learning) skills. This project allows students to explore issues they are passionate about while applying the skills and knowledge gained throughout their MYP journey.

Our goal is to develop internationally minded learners who are grounded in their identity, committed to lifelong learning, and prepared to contribute positively to both local and global communities.
