Middle School
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP) in Middle School is a dynamic educational framework designed for students aged 11 to 16. This program emphasizes holistic development, encouraging students to grow beyond traditional academics. Through eight diverse subject groups—Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Mathematics, Sciences, Individuals & Societies, Design, Arts, and Physical & Health Education—students cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and intercultural understanding. Students also take Korean Social Studies (Grade 6) and Korean History (Grades 7 and 8) courses that enable students to receive a Korean high school diploma after graduating BHA, which is recognized by the Korean Ministry of Education.
The MYP's learner profile is at the heart of this journey, fostering qualities such as inquisitiveness, open-mindedness, and reflective thinking. By integrating interdisciplinary learning and community service, the MYP ensures students develop a strong academic foundation while connecting their studies to real-world contexts, setting the stage for their continued success in the Senior School.
