While the 2024 review found that MYP is not in compliance with IB requirements, IB World notes that the three schools offering MYP have been supported by an overlap of the IB curriculum through the redesigned BC curriculum. The report identified program strengths at all three sites including the focus on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to provide a more inclusive and flexible learning environment for every student, as well as a strong focus on uplifting student voice and developing positive staff, student and community relationships.  

According to IB World, the MYP’s momentum and institutional knowledge base has been hindered by high staff turnover, insufficient staff training, shortage of IB-certified teachers, limited cross collaboration amongst the three schools and limited staff time for planning IB-specific objectives.   

To continue offering MYP to students, the following recommendations must be implemented or initiated by December 1, 2024, to maintain IB program accreditation. Recommendations focus on staff training, policies and procedures, curriculum and assessment, the Programme Development Plan, scheduling, financial commitments, and promotion/advertising. In the following pages, specific recommendations from IB World are in bolded and italicized text, with additional District information provided in regular text after each recommendation.
