Personal Project helps Grade 10s build research and critical thinking skills

To cap off the Middle Years Program in Grade 10, students have the opportunity to bring together all the building blocks of inquiry, action, and reflection that they have acquired to date through an in-depth and sustained investigation called the Personal Project.

The Personal Project is an integral milestone of the IB curriculum that taps into an area of interest chosen by the student. This provides them with the freedom to explore a topic they are curious about for the majority of the academic year that results in an outcome or product to be shared with our community. Students undertook a diverse array of innovative and challenging projects, from visualizing the impact of deforestation in 3D to creating natural, non-toxic inks from scratch.
