Robert E. Lee High School and James S. Hogg Middle School IB Programmes

Tyler Independent School District offers two International Baccalaureate Organization Programs that focus on preparing students to successfully participate in the global economy.  The two programs are the IB Diploma Program and the IB Middle Years Program. 

The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (MYP) is an advanced studies program for 6th – 8th grade students.  The MYP is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education that focuses on the development of the “whole child.”  In addition to high academic standards, a strong emphasis is placed on the value of intercultural understanding and responsible citizenship.  MYP students are challenged to become independent and compassionate thinkers, active lifelong learners, and informed participating citizens in local and world affairs.  The MYP prepares students to succeed in all advanced academic programs at the high school level.

James S. Hogg Middle School features a fully authorized Middle Years Program.  The MYP teachers and staff work together to implement the important concepts of MYP which emphasize:

  • Academic excellence in all subject areas

  • An interdisciplinary approach to learning

  • Connections between subject areas and the real world

  • Intercultural awareness and understanding

  • Effective communication and research skills

  • Assessment of student progress

  • Student self-assessment and reflection

  • Community & Service opportunities provided in and out of the classroom

MYP students receive accelerated instruction in eight subject areas which include:  Language A: English, Language B: Spanish, Science, Math, Humanities, Performing Arts (Band, Orchestra, Choir, and Theater), Visual Arts, Physical Education and Technology.  Students have the opportunity to earn high school credit for Spanish I and Algebra I by the end of the eighth grade year.

Student inquiry and hands-on instruction are essential for the MYP curriculum.  Field trips provide a real world connection to student learning and are an integral part of the program.
