Pause International Baccalaureate Wilbur & McMahon Schools is proud to announce we are officially an IB World School! International Baccalaureate certified schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Little Compton believes is important for our students. Learn more about IB below What is IB? Mission and Philosophy The IB focuses on each student as a whole person. 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.
