03 / JOURNEY
BUILT FOR THE WORK YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL WILL ASK OF THEM.

Personal Project. Extended Essay. Theory of Knowledge.

These are not assignments your child will face one year. They are the work of years. We start where they should.

AGE 8–9

Where the practice starts

(Before any school deliverable. Inquiry, voice, reflection.)

The years before formal milestones are where the habits form. Starting at eight means the rest is muscle memory.

AGE 10–11

Primary Years Programme Exhibition

(Year 6 capstone. Sustained collaborative inquiry into a real-world issue.)

By the time they exhibit, they will already have done six independent inquiries of their own.

AGE 13–14

Middle Years Programme Community Project

(Middle Years Programme Year 3 to 4. Fifteen-hour service-rooted inquiry.)

Service projects work when the child has a real point of view. Years of inquiry are how they get one.

AGE 14–15

Middle Years Programme Personal Project

(Middle Years Programme Year 5. 25 hours of independent work, externally moderated.)

The kids who do this well are the ones who built independent inquiry skills at ten. Not at fifteen.

AGE 16–18

Diploma Programme

(Extended Essay. Theory of Knowledge. Creativity, Activity, Service portfolio.)

Four-thousand-word essays, structured argument, and eighteen months of documented action. Years of practice show up here, or they don't.

Most kids meet these the year they are due. Yours will have been preparing for them for years.
