Shiv Nadar School Noida is now an IB MYP Authorised School
Shiv Nadar School, Noida, approaches learning as a purposeful journey driven by curiosity, where every child is encouraged to ask questions, explore passions, and develop the confidence to take on future challenges. Besides being an IB DP authorised school, we’re now also authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP). This reflects our ongoing commitment to meaningful education that prepares students for the world they live in today, and the one they will help shape tomorrow.
What the MYP Brings to Our School
The Middle Years Programme is designed for students aged 11 to 16 and encourages them to make connections across subjects, explore real-world issues, and build essential skills for life. Critical thinking, collaboration, research, and reflection are integral to the programme's design. For example, in Grade 7, students might investigate climate change through Science, Geography, and Language and present solutions using persuasive speeches and data visualisation. They develop research skills, collaborative strategies, and reflection habits that are taught and assessed. The IB MYP helps students understand how they learn, why they learn, and how their learning can make a difference.
What makes the IB MYP unique is its focus on developing students who are thoughtful, open-minded, and engaged with the world. The programme helps them grow academically while also encouraging them to care deeply about their community and the wider world.
Why It Matters
As parents, you want your children to be confident, capable, and compassionate individuals. The IB MYP provides an environment where students are encouraged to think independently, take ownership of their learning, and explore new ideas with depth and purpose. Regular reflection, peer feedback sessions, and self-assessment checklists enable students to learn to monitor their progress, set personal goals, and apply their learning in meaningful contexts. This prepares them well for the demands of higher education and supports their growth as responsible global citizens.
The programme is recognised worldwide and provides a strong foundation for the IB Diploma Programme, which many of our students pursue in Grades 11 and 12. With the IB MYP in place, their learning experience is part of a seamless, thoughtfully designed continuum.
The Journey to Becoming an IB MYP School
Gaining authorisation as an IB World School offering the MYP involves curriculum alignment, intensive teacher training, and a deep engagement with the IB’s educational philosophy. It is a result of the effort, dedication, and collaboration of our entire community, teachers, students, school leaders, and parents. Our students now experience a seamless continuum from the Middle Years through to the Diploma Program due to the IB MYP authorisation. This ensures that skills like critical thinking, research, and intercultural understanding are intentionally built over time, preparing them for lifelong learning.
We will continue to build a school experience where students learn with intention and grow with confidence. Being part of the IB community connects us to a global network of schools that value academic excellence, student well-being, and international-mindedness.
