AURA Academy Is Now an Official MYP IB World School!

We’re thrilled to announce that AURA Academy is now an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) World School!

This incredible milestone means that our students in grades 6–10 will now benefit from a globally recognized curriculum designed to develop critical thinking, creativity, and real-world connections—all rooted in values that align with our mission of academic excellence, integrity, and service.

What is the IB MYP?

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the world around them. Spanning five years, the MYP is designed for students aged 11 to 16 and prepares them for success in the IB Diploma Programme (DP), college, and beyond.

At AURA Academy, our MYP students will now engage in:

• Inquiry-based learning across eight subject groups

• Interdisciplinary projects that reflect real-world problems

• Personal projects that encourage independence and creativity

• Service learning rooted in our Christian values

• Global-mindedness and intercultural understanding

Why This Matters for Our Students

Becoming an MYP IB World School places AURA Academy among a prestigious group of schools worldwide. It ensures that your child receives a rigorous, internationally respected education—one that develops lifelong learners, compassionate leaders, and responsible global citizens.

And the best part? It’s happening right here in our faith-based, close-knit school community.

Whether you’re a current family or new to AURA Academy, we invite you to learn more about the IB MYP and how it sets our students up for lifelong success—academically, socially, and spiritually.
