IB MYP Authorization Announcement
We are pleased to announce
that the Decatur High/Oak Park Middle School Partnership has been authorized to
teach the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program effective
immediately. The schools were informed of this honor by Jeffrey R. Beard,
Director General of the International Baccalaureate. Decatur City Schools has
the honor of having the first authorized MYP programs in the state of Alabama.
While our eight subject areas
provide the traditional foundation of knowledge,
the MYP adds a program of international education
designed to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and
skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world.
Students develop the disposition and capacity to be lifelong learners,
problem-solvers, and communicators. They become aware of global issues and
learn to act responsibly and with respect for others.
Congratulations to our students, staffs, administrators, Central Office, Board
of Education, and community for this significant accomplishment.
Kim Qualls, MYP
Coordinator, Decatur High School
Sue Lawton, MYP
Coordinator, Oak Park Middle School
