Thus, IB programmes address not only cognitive development but social, emotional and physical well-being. The aim is to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people with adaptable skills to tackle society’s complex challenges and who will help to make it a better, more peaceful world. Middle Years Programme The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world and culminates in a personal project. Students who complete the MYP are well-prepared for high school and beyond. IB Learner Profile The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. These attributes, and others like them, can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national and global communities. MYP Policies MYP Access & Inclusion MYP Assessment MYP Academic Integrity MYP Language Eighth Grade Community Service The Grade 8 Community Project, a key element of the Middle Years Programme (MYP), engages students in real-world community involvement by applying their classroom knowledge. It develops critical skills such as research, planning, collaboration, and communication. The project is divided into three phases: proposal, action, and reflection. Students identify and research a community issue, implement a plan to address it, and evaluate the outcomes. They are expected to demonstrate initiative, collaboration, and effective communication, culminating in a final presentation and documentation of their work. The project is supported by mentor guidance, resources, and workshops, with assessment focused on investigation, planning, action, and reflection.

...from the Principal's Desk Message from the Principal First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is John P. McKinnon and I am honored to be the new Principal at the Wilbur and McMahon School. I am a resident of Little Compton, a proud graduate of Wilbur and McMahon School, and a proud parent of five children, who all attended Wilbur and McMahon School. I have been in education for the last 35 years and have served as a school administrator for the past 19 years. Over my journey in education, I have taught at the elementary and high school levels, worked in an administrative role as a high school assistant principal, and most recently have served as Principal of Harris Elementary School in Woonsocket, RI. As an educational leader, it is essential that our school be a collaborative, safe, and healthy environment — a place where positive relationships are fostered for academic and social growth, and an educational and enriching space where every student is excited to learn. The Wilbur and McMahon School has always prepared students to meet the challenges in education and in life. This is due to not only the many dedicated teachers and staff members, but also to our parents and caretakers who are actively involved in the success of their students. This is a partnership that will enable our students to be successful in any path that they choose. I am excited and eager to begin as the Principal of Wilbur and McMahon School later this week. I look forward to working with our students, our teachers and our families. It will be a privilege to work in the school community that has had such an important role in the growth of all of our children. Sincerely, John McKinnon Principal Wilbur and McMahon School Contact jmckinnon@lcsd.k12.ri.us 401.592.0363 I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities for the school and Little Compton Community. Parents are always welcome to contact me for any reason.
