Dear Students and Parents,
We are pleased to invite you to a special MYP 3 Holistic Reception Session for students entering Grade 8 (MYP Year 3) in the 2026–2027 school year, who are interested in exploring the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the advantages it offers as part of the IB continuum leading to the Diploma Programme (DP).
Date: Saturday, 15 November 2025
Time: 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
Location: Discover International School
This holistic placement assessment helps us gain a complete picture of each student—beyond academic results. It provides insights into each learner’s strengths, learning approaches, and areas for support across language, mathematics, communication, and social-emotional skills.
Through this process, we seek to understand:
- How students learn and collaborate with others
- How they approach challenges and express themselves
- Their academic readiness in key subjects
We believe this approach ensures a smooth transition into Grade 8, boosts confidence, and promotes a positive and balanced learning experience where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
