The International Middle Years Curriculum (imyc)
The IMYC is a curriculum that focuses foremost on student learning. It provides a rigorous, structured yet flexible teaching framework for 11 to 14 year olds to improve their learning and inspire and engage them throughout an often precarious learning and developmental period.
This is achieved through a range of themes to which subjects contribute interdependently providing a coherent and relevant learning experience.
"The IMYC shows real understanding of the unique philosophy and approach to learning that students at this developmental level require,” says Alison Lipp, Curriculum Coordinator at the American International School of Rotterdam, one of the first schools to have taken on the IMYC.

The International Primary Curriculum
https://fieldworkeducation.com/curriculums/primary-years
The International Primary Curriculum is the most exciting curriculum project with which we have ever been involved.
Like everything we have done, the IPC is oriented to the future. It helps children develop the knowledge, skills and understandings they will need in their future lives. But it is also built on an awareness of the present reality. It provides the support teachers need now. In doing so, it frees teachers to focus on what is really important in the classroom ?how children learn, rather than the endless preparation and planning of basic work.
The IPC has been in development since 1998. We are grateful for the involvement of many teachers, not least those in schools operated by Shell International. It was our involvement with Shell that gave this project such a kick-start. Shell continues to provide an annual grant towards the International Primary Curriculum? development although the IPC is now a fully independent organisation.
