MYP Personal Project Guide: Introduction

The personal project invites you to explore an area of personal interest through a self-driven inquiry that provides the opportunity for you to demonstrate and refine your ATL skills. 

The project prepares you to participate in the DP, CP or other further education projects and presentations.

The aims of the MYP Personal Project are for you to inquire, act and reflect.

(Figure 4, The Aims of the Personal Project, IBO, Personal Project Guide, 2021, p.8)

The personal project consists of:

• A process 

• A product 

• A report

The final report is assessed against 3 criteria:

• A - Planning

• B - Applying Skills

• C - Reflecting

You will work with a supervisor who you will meet at least three times throughout the process.  Each meeting should be documented on the Academic Honesty form which is submitted with the final report.  At each meeting, you should discuss your progress with your project.
