Looking for MYP personal project requirements, objectives, and assessment? Yes, the MYP Personal Project is a required component for all students in the final year (Year 5) of the programme. It is a compulsory, independent piece of work that serves as a capstone to the MYP experience.

  • Mandatory Status: Completion of the Personal Project is necessary for schools to award the MYP Certificate of Completion.

  • Objective: To demonstrate the development of Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, independent learning, and deep engagement with a topic of personal interest.

  • Time Commitment: Typically involves 25+ hours of work over several months.

  • Supervision: Students are guided by a supervising teacher but must drive the project independently.

Failing to complete a satisfactory Personal Project may impact a student’s overall MYP record and readiness for the Diploma Programme.
