The objective of these programs is to train young people on engaging actively in the learning process and offer them all the opportunities to join the best universities all over the world.
The Middle Years Program is dedicated to students between 12 and 16 years old. And through the program, the students will understand the complexity of the societies in which we live and will develop an open and sympathetic attitude toward the world.
