The MYP Introduction
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11-16, aiming to provide a structured way of learning and encourage students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. It emphasizes intelligence, challenges, and encourages students to build connections between traditional subject content and the real world. It supports students to develop communication skills, multicultural understanding and global involvement. In addition to many other qualities, these are the basic qualities that students need to have to become active and leading members of the international community.
The MYP builds on the work of Primary Years Programme (PYP) and provides the best preparation for the IB Diploma Programme (DP) for Grades 11-12. The DP is regarded as the best preparation for continuing university study across a range of popular destinations worldwide.
CISK is a Candidate School* for the MYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that CISK believes is important for our students.

Criteria based evaluation system
The MYP assessment requires teachers to use the assessment criteria of each subject group to assess the specified objectives of the subjetc group. In order to provide students with the opportunity to achieve at the highest level in CISK, teachers set strict tasks, including various evaluation strategies. With the development of learning units, teachers will also carry out formative assessment to assess students' learning and adjust teaching when necessary to best meet students' needs.

Language learning
CISK implements hierarchical teaching and flexibly adjusts the curriculum according to students' language learning level. For non-native English students, their English learning ability in language acquisition can be divided into three stages: emergent, capable and proficient. For non-native Chinese students, they do Mandarin as Second Language (MSL) separately in their Chinese learning.

International Community
As a diversified learning community, CISK has students and faculty from all over the world. In many courses, we use stories, songs and dances to show our motherland's culture and share our rich background. We promote international-mindedness and multicultural understanding in a community that has students and teachers from all around the world and through colorful activities like UN day, language festivals, etc.
