IB-MYP Information

World Class Education

At Pilot Butte Middle School, our mission is to inspire students to become inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who are engaged citizens of the world. The results are students who are global learners, aware of connections between disciplines and the IB-MYP Global Contexts.

IB Learners

IB learners strive to be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open minded, caring, risk takers, balanced and reflective. These traits encourage responsible members of our local, national, and global communities.

Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning

Integrating disciplinary perspectives, between two or more subject areas, is a means to deepen students' understanding of their world and support them in becoming more competent in it. Pilot Butte teachers collaborate on ways to integrate various subject areas so that students can develop a new, deeper, more compelling or nuanced understanding of the topic under study.

Approaches to Learning Skills

The ATLs are a unifying thread throughout all MYP subject groups. They are the skills that help students manage their own learning. These skills provide the foundation for success in further education and the world beyond the classroom.

21st Century Skills

An MYP Education embodies the 6 C's: Character Education, Citizenship, Communication, Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving, Collaboration, and Creativity.
