The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) is a programme of international education designed for students aged 11 to 16. It was launched in 1994 and provides a framework of interdisciplinary as well as transdisciplinar learning that encourages students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers as well as emphasizes intellectual challenge, motivating students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world. It also fosters the development of skills for communication, intercultural understanding and global engagement - essential qualities for young people who are becoming global leaders. This paper sets its focus on the benefits of adopting the IBMYP in Taiwan. It begins with an introduction of its eight subject groups and the different courses offered according to the curricula; then looks into the framework of the exam approach and assessments criteria. This study also illustrates several IB world schools, which provide the IBMYP in various countries and work in partnership with the IBO. The IBMYP builds upon knowledge; skills, attitudes and prepares students to meet the academic challenges of the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and the IB Careerrelated Certificate (IBCC). It is flexible, can accommodate most national or local curriculum requirements, and is practicingits most ambitious programme redesign in the IB's 45 year history since this year (2014).With these characteristics, especially on the grounds of local language adaptions (Chinese can be the communication language at school in this stage), it is hoped that our middle school system could integrate with the international educational community easier in the near future. Through this study we anticipate more discussion about IB MYP programmes in Taiwanese academic circles and believe that more IB state founded schools will set up in Taiwan in the coming years.
