Features Of HWA IB-MYP Academic Programme

hwa-programme-16.png

HWA MYP units are conducted through explorations of the following 6 prescribed global contexts. These global contexts enable the student to connect learning experiences inside the classroom with those outside. International mindedness is also developed through the contextual learning process.

hwa-programme-17.png

Conceptual understanding is the key feature in HWA MYP units of inquiry. There are 16 key interdisciplinary concepts along with the related concepts for each discipline. Lessons are planned around the exploration of these key and related concepts within the 6 global contexts.

hwa-programme-18.png

Approaches to learning (ATL) skills are essential for the exploration of the concepts. These skills are incorporated in each MYP unit and are further developed and reinforced in the HWA Pastoral Care and Project programmes. Teaching the students to learn how to learn, these ATL skills prepare the students for independent learning and encourage them to apply what they learnt in unfamiliar situations.

Service as action through community is strongly encouraged. Wherever possible, the MYP unit is designed such that the students can apply what they have learnt to serve the community, putting values into what the students learn in the classrooms and developing them into empathetic community members.

Inclusion and learning diversity are fully supported in the HWA. Through differentiation, teachers are able to respond to variance among the students and tailor to their learning needs. HWA also has in place an academic support programme to help students consolidate their foundation. All stakeholders including parents, together with teachers and counsellors, are also involved to help students to overcome challenges during their learning journeys.

The interdisciplinary learning allows the students to understand and connect knowledge from two or more disciplines or subject groups, so that new knowledge can be synthesised. In each grade year, HWA will engage students in at least one collaboratively planned interdisciplinary unit that involves at least two subject groups. 

In HWA, all MYP students have to go through the Pastoral Care Programme carefully crafted to empower the students in their learning journey. Through participation in activities, students will develop their ATL skills to grow confidently in self-management and in relation to their peers. 

Through the MYP Projects, students experience the responsibility of completing a significant piece of work over an extended period of time. 

For Grades 7 – 9, students will inquire, plan, and carry out a series of community projects. They will also have the opportunity to reflect on their project outcomes. These community projects will require them to hone their ATL skills and prepare them for the Grade 10 MYP Personal Project. 

For Grade 10, students will embark on a journey to discover and develop their interests by completing a Personal Project that spans over a few months. Each student will be assigned a teacher supervisor to guide him/her during the journey, culminating in a Personal Project report which will be graded by the supervisor, and moderated by external IB moderators. The students will also hold an exhibition to showcase their journey to the school community. The Personal Project is mandatory for all Grade 10 students.
