The Community Project is a cornerstone of the IB Middle Years Programme and a powerful invitation for students to apply what they learn in service of humanity. At Lancers, this project is more than an academic requirement; it is an act of thoughtful leadership, grounded in empathy, responsibility, and global vision.

Completed in Year 3, the Community Project encourages students to explore their roles as citizens of both local and international communities. Students work collaboratively to identify a need, design an action plan, and engage meaningfully with real-world issues. Whether addressing access to education, environmental sustainability, mental health awareness, or cultural preservation, students pursue purposeful inquiry that leads to impactful action.

The project is intrinsically connected to students’ learning within and beyond the classroom. It fosters principled decision-making, effective communication, and ethical engagement, ensuring that Lancers learners don’t just participate in society, they elevate it.

The Personal Project is the culmination of the MYP, a bold, self-directed journey that allows each student to explore a personal passion while demonstrating the depth of their learning. It is both a rite of passage and a declaration of identity.

In Year 5, students conceptualize, design, and complete an original project of their own choosing. They set a goal that is ambitious yet authentic, one that reflects their interests, values, and creativity. Past projects at Lancers have included building humanitarian websites, directing short films on gender equity, engineering smart home prototypes, composing music, and publishing research on renewable energy.

Guided by a personal supervisor, students document every step of their process from initial inspiration and planning to action and final reflection. This journey cultivates advanced skills in organization, critical thinking, creativity, and self-management, all of which are central to the MYP Approaches to Learning.
The experience culminates in a formal exhibition where students present their products, process journals, and reflections to the wider school community. It is a celebration of passion, perseverance, and the power of student voice.

Personal Projects are externally moderated by the IB and assessed against four rigorous criteria: Investigating, Planning, Taking Action, and Reflecting. Successful completion results in an official IB MYP certificate, affirming not only what students have learned, but who they have become.
