• Language and Literature

• Language Acquisition

• Mathematics

• Sciences

• Individual and Societies

The MYP curriculum correlates with the Alabama College and Career Ready Standards (CCRS).
MYP enhances curriculum, fostering creativity for both students and teachers.

Culminating Requirements

The MYP students will have the opportunity to complete service projects to further develop skills they have learned through the MYP as it arises naturally in the curriculum.

At the end of the tenth-grade year (year 5), MYP students complete the MYP Personal Project that is a product of the student's own initiative and creativity.
