IB Middle Years Programme

MYP at South Seminole Academy

At South Seminole, our mission is to empower students to become future leaders by taking action as global citizens, thinking critically, collaborating and learning at high levels. We inspire students to become lifelong inquirers based on their unique interests, gifts, and talents in an inclusive community where students take risks in their learning journey.

South Seminole Academy of Career Exploration is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP).   The MYP framework is integrated into our career pathways and house structure which prepares motivated, college-bound students to engage in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme at Seminole and Winter Springs high schools.  World language, independent study, and accelerated classes are included in this program.

By integrating the MYP framework, career pathways, and the house structure with SSA’s mission, we ensure that our students are academically prepared and also equipped with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

10 reasons why the I B middle years programme encourages you to become a creative, critical and reflective learner.
