The subjects covered in the IMYC include; English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Information Technology, Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education. The study of a foreign language will be mandatory for every student. The IMYC is a rigorous academic platform that prepares students well for their next stage of learning at IB, GCSE or IGCSE. “The IMYC is much more than a bunch of good ideas in a framework, it is a full curriculum; designed to support the academic and personal needs of the learner at this crucial age. The latest research has shown consistently that the maturing adolescent brain needs very specific support and students’ personal development cannot be neglected; but not at the cost of the academic rigour and depth of learning required! That is what I enjoy about the IMYC, it is not either or, but both, we owe that to our students!” Isabel Du Toit Head of IMYC
