Middle: Grades 6-10

Grade 9 and 10 students produced this video to showcase their school pride. They not only filmed and edited the video but also wrote and performed the accompanying song.

Building a strong foundation for a lifetime 

Since 1961, Grades 6 – 10 at the International School of Berne (ISBerne) have been a vibrant, student-centered community. Following the International Baccalaureate® Middle Years Programme (MYP), our programme meets the unique needs of young adolescents as they develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, and skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. 
 
Grades 6 - 10 mark a crucial stage in your child's development, where they build, reflect, and strengthen the attitudes, values, and dispositions that will shape their future. At ISBerne, we are committed to supporting them in developing the skills they require for their overall well-being and future success. Since most students seek more independence during these years, we create an environment that offers them more control over their experience, preparing them for the more complex life choices they will face.
 
To help your child make sense of the world, discover who they are, and who they want to become, we offer them a diverse range of learning experiences to cultivate their understanding of themselves as learners and global citizens. By helping them identify their strengths, passions, and interests, we prepare them to make informed decisions and become ready for the next stage of their education.
 
To learn more about how our Middle School and High School programmes could cater to the unique needs of your child, please explore the "Middle Years in Depth" section below. Join ISBerne and let us help your child build a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning and discovery!
