What is the status of the MYP certificate as a school-leaving certificate?

The MYP was not developed in order to lead to a “school-leaving certificate”, but to provide the student with good preparation for further studies (IB Diploma Programme or other) and to develop lifelong learning skills and dispositions. The MYP certificate represents global achievement with an MYP curriculum framework, and takes into account academic as well as non-academic aspects (and, very importantly, the evidence of an understanding of the core dimensions of the programme through the personal project and community and service activities). Experienced MYP schools tell us that students graduating with the MYP certificate are well prepared for independent study and the rigour of the Diploma Programme.
