Project Time is an essential part of our curriculum, encouraging students to grow both as independent learners and team players.
Students explore topics related to the IB Global Contexts while developing themselves through the Approaches to Learning skills. Many projects are done collaboratively, allowing students to strengthen their communication skills, social skills, and leadership abilities.
Through inquiry-based learning, students work together to formulate research questions, design action plans, and create meaningful products. This approach not only enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also fosters collaboration and self-management.
This experience prepares students for the Personal Project in MYP5, where they will apply these skills to create a final project.

“Through inquiry-based learning, students work together to formulate research questions, design action plans, and create meaningful products.”
Collaboration with Leiden University
In MYP3 Students from the International School Wassenaar took part in piloting a Children’s Rights module designed by Leiden Law School. They learned about their human rights and created advocacy campaigns to stand up for the rights of children around the world.
