The Middle Years Program provides a framework for academic challenge and life skills for students ages 11-16 years.  The four-year program offers an educational approach that embraces yet transcends traditional school subjects.

Although the MYP curriculum is challenging, it is meant for ALL students.  Every student in grades 7-10 will participate in MYP.  South St. Paul realizes that there are a variety of learners and it is our goal to teach to each type of learner.  They MYP focuses on implementing the best practices of teaching and this will help us include all students.  Another focus of the MYP is helping students determine how they learn so that they can develop study methods that are most effective for them.
