The MYP units of study, focus on transferable key concepts and
                        subject-specific related concepts that extend beyond particular
                        origins, subject matter, or place in time. The MYP recognises six
                        global  contexts  that  are  transitionally  rooted  in  the  PYP
                        transdisciplinary  themes.  These  are  explored  through  inquiry-
                        based units in each subject throughout the programme to help
                        students develop a sense of understanding of the world, explore
                        common humanity, and inculcate a shared guardianship of the
                        planet.
                     The  Programme  of  Inquiry  (POI)  in  PYP  and  the  Subject  Group
                     Overviews (SGO’s) in MYP can be found on the Toddle platform.

                     *Nita  Mukesh  Ambani Junior  School  and  IB  World  Schools  share  a
                     common philosophy - a commitment to improve the teaching and
                     learning  of  a  diverse  and  inclusive  community  of  students  by
                     delivering  challenging,  high-quality  programmes  of  international
                     education that share a powerful vision.

                 b)  Academic Integrity

                     The school values academic integrity as a core value. It nurtures fair
                     practices in teaching, learning and assessment. Through sessions in
                     information literacy, students are educated to recognize the meaning
                     and  implication  of  academic  misconduct,  plagiarism,  malpractice,
                     and collusion. They are made to understand that they are responsible
                     for their academic honesty. An age-appropriate procedure is followed
                     while  investigating  a  case  of  academic  malpractice.  Parents  are
                     expected to support the school in promoting integrity over  dishonest
                     achievement.

                 c)  Assessments

                     We  recognise  that  teaching,  learning,  and  assessment  are
                     fundamentally  interdependent.  Our  overarching  philosophy  of
                     assessment  is  that  it  should  support  student  and  curricular  goals
                     while nurturing age-appropriate learning. We consider assessment to
                     have  four  dimensions:  monitoring,  documenting,  measuring  and
                     reporting.
