Middle Years programme (MYP) candidate school status

I SLO im. Maharaja Jam Saheba Digvijay Sinhji is a candidate school for the Middle Years programme (MYP). The school implements the authorization process for the MYP IB World School program. IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to providing a high-quality, challenging, international education that we believe is important to our students.

Only schools authorized by the IB Organization may offer one of its four educational programmes: Primary Years programme(PYP), Middle Years programme(MYP), Diploma programme(DP), or Career-related programme(CP). Candidate status does not give full guarantee that authorization will be granted. More information about the IB organization and its programs can be found at http://www.ibo.org.

School values

High School at ul. Bednarska was established in 1989 as the first non-public school. The mission of the school is to promote democracy and tolerance towards different races, cultures and religions. In our high school, we emphasize these values, combining them with the profile of the IB student.

Our school is famous for:

Democracy – The high school community consists of three communities: students, teachers and parents which together form the School Republic. In addition to the headteacher, authority is exercised by three democratic institutions: the School Council, the School Parliament and the School Court, which perform executive, legislative and judicial functions, respectively. They are made up of representatives from all three communities who are elected once a year.

Multiculturalism – in our school, in addition to regular lessons, there are also classes during which students can meet peers from outside the school. The annual MUN conference (the so-called RaszMUN) provides an opportunity to get to know students from other cities and even other countries. Our school also has a common room for refugees, where students can volunteer and learn about the problems of foreigners who have found shelter in our country.

Volunteering activities – the IB programme requires students to engage in activities for the benefit of others. Our school provides many such opportunities: in addition to the refugee common room, we also support „Habitat for Humanity”, in which students are involved in building houses for the poor and needy. In turn, involvement in the organization of the school MUN allows them to gain exceptional organizational skills.

In the coming years, we plan to open paths containing new IB subjects: theater, computer science and design technology. For more information click on the „plans for the future” tab.
