Philosophy
A Rigorous and Comprehensive Curriculum
The MYP curriculum at Wellspring is designed to foster intellectual curiosity and critical thinking skills. Through a balanced approach to learning, students explore eight subject areas:
1. LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
2. LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
3. INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETIES
4. SCIENCES
5. MATHEMATICS
6. ARTS
7. PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION
8. DESIGN
Global Contexts
Central to the MYP curriculum are global contexts, which provide different lenses through which students explore real-world issues and make connections between their learning and the world around them.
These contexts include identities and relationships, orientation in space and time, personal and cultural expression, scientific and technical innovation, globalization and sustainability, and fairness and development.
Approaches to Learning
Just as in the PYP, Wellspring emphasizes the development of Approaches to Learning (ATL) in the MYP.
Students are equipped with essential skills such as communication, thinking, research, social skills and self-management, empowering them to become self-directed learners and responsible global citizens.
Assessment for Learning
Assessment in the MYP goes beyond traditional testing methods.
At Wellspring, MYP employs a variety of assessment strategies, including project-based assessments, oral presentations, and collaborative tasks, to evaluate students’ understanding and skills development across subject areas.
Service as Action
In line with the IB ethos, the MYP encourages students to engage in service as action, making meaningful contributions to their communities and beyond. Through service learning projects, students at Wellspring develop empathy, compassion, and a sense of social responsibility.
Cultivating International Mindedness: Our community is filled with people from all backgrounds and nationalities, making it the perfect environment for cultivating international mindedness. Through inquiry into local and global issues, students at Wellspring develop a deep appreciation for diversity and an understanding of their place in an interconnected world.
