Approaches to learning encompasses skill-building in the following areas- Organization, Collaboration, Communication, Information Literacy, Reflection Thinking and Transfer where “learning how to learn” lies at the core.

Concepts:
Concepts are big ideas, which form the basis of teaching and learning in the MYP. They ahve relevance within specific disciplines and across subject areas. These concepts engage students not only in higher order thinking, helping them to connect facts and topics with more complex conceptual understanding but also to relate them to real life issues. Furthermore they provide a focus for transferring knowledge and understanding across disciplines and subject groups. MYP students use concepts as a vehicle to inquire into issues and ideas of personal, local and global significance and examine knowledge holistically. The MYP prescribes sixteen key interdisciplinary concepts along with related concepts for each discipline.
Students learn best when their learning experiences have context and are connected to their lives and their experience of the world. Using global contexts, MYP students develop an understanding of their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet through developmentally appropriate explorations of:
identities and relationships
personal and cultural identity
orientations in space and time
scientific and technical innovation
fairness and development
globalization and sustainability
