Why IB MYP

The IB MYP experience at Roosevelt Middle School transcends conventional education. Students not only acquire a profound understanding of academic subjects but also cultivate essential skills in communication, collaboration, and reflection. The curriculum's embedded global perspectives empower our students to evolve into well-rounded, empathetic individuals ready to contribute meaningfully to a diverse and interconnected world.

Roosevelt Middle School is a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program and we are excited to share that we are pursuing IB World authorization. These are schools that share a common philosophy, a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that New Bedford Public Schools and the Roosevelt School Community believe is important for our students.

Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programs:

  • Primary Years Program (PYP)
  • Middle Years Program (MYP)
  • Diploma Program (DP)
  • Career-related Program (CP) 

It is important to note that candidate status gives no guarantee that IB Authorization will be granted.  For further information about the IB and its programs, please visit www.ibo.org
