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.
