ETON’S MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

At our private Middle School in Santa Fe, Mexico City, our students follow a bilingual curriculum that combines the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP) and the Mexican National Curriculum of the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP). We set high expectations, as we empower our students to explore different ideas and perspectives across eight subject groups, nurturing their critical and creative thinking, and inspiring intellectual curiosity.

OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

One of the leading bilingual Middle Schools in Mexico, our curriculum centers around the exploration of different ideas and points of view. Following the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) and Mexican National Curriculum, our students develop a deep understanding of key concepts and topics, as well as their attitudes toward thinking and learning.

Our international Middle School students work across eight subject groups, exploring global contexts, learning principles, and strategies. They study Language and Literature in both Spanish and English, as well as Math, Science, Individuals and Societies, Arts, Design, Physical and Health Education, and independent subjects including Service as Action and Social and Emotional Learning.

Across the MYP, we motivate our young people to explore the natural, social, and cultural world through interdisciplinary experiences. These opportunities are all guided towards inquiry, action, and reflection. We also support our learners to develop a strong sense of self through positive interactions and connections that extend their knowledge.

THE ib MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAM (MYP)

An International Baccalaureate (IB) World School since 1995, Eton is one of the best IB Middle Years Program (MYP) schools in Mexico City. Our Grade 7-10 students also follow local curricular programs and standards set by the Ministry of Education’s Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP).

Through the IB MYP’s Approaches to Learning (ATL), our students develop skills that allow them to become effective and reflective learners. ATL nurtures our learners’ organization, collaboration, communication, information literacy, digital literacy, reflection, thinking, and transferable skills, as well as developing the attitudes and dispositions important for lifelong learning.

We monitor our learners’ progress through formative and summative assessments, which keep track of the development of knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes.

LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THROUGH MIDDLE SCHOOL

Through language, our students access different cultures and a raft of global experiences and connections. We teach the IB MYP in both Spanish and English, placing a particular emphasis on language acquisition. Our children, for example, study 50% of their curriculum in English, which is taught by professional, fluent English speakers. We also offer non-native speakers the chance to acquire Spanish as a second or third language.

A VISIBLE THINKING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

‘Visible thinking’ is a strategy devised by Harvard University's Project Zero program, which helps our IB Middle Years Program students to strategically learn how to think, deepening their understanding and knowledge. Through visible thinking, our students become creative, curious, and lifelong learners, equipped with excellent problem solving, reasoning, and reflective skills.
