The Middle Years Programme (MYP) centers learning in a global context, asking students to form connections between their studies and the real world. 

Whether students are exploring the core subjects of the MYP or working on their independent learning project, PenPal Schools provides students with direct access to peers around the world. Authentic PenPal connections allow students to engage deeply as they form connections between their studies and the real world. 

MYP classrooms have participated in all PenPal Schools topics, but below is a guide for finding the best topics for each of the core subjects. Each PenPal Schools topic will allow students to explore: 

• identities and relationships
• personal and cultural expression
• orientations in space and time
• scientific and technical innovation
• fairness and development
• globalization and sustainability.
