So very true. Latin and Deal are the proven ones for non-language based middle schools. The other HRCS seem to be quite iffy.

Seriously. Talk to the founders. They are going to be a 1:1 school.

International Baccalureate programs are well-respected world wide. It is the organizing program that Deal uses to much success. It is not project based, but it is cross-discipline thematic which means it carries lArge questions and themes across all classes as much as possible. so they may have the same overarching theme running through history, English, math, science and language classes. It's a really great way to organize a school. Not just for the mAterial presented to the students, but also the way the entire needs to work together and communicate goals etc.

The International Middle Years Curriculum is NOT the same as the IB Middle Years Program.

They are not the same. IB MYP is at least a widely used, heavily evaluated curriculum. Does IMYC work? Is it effective at getting students to learn and retain the desired material or methods?

It's used in many, many countries. However, it's fairly new here in the US and its used mostly in private schools.

The International Middle Years Curriculum is considered a poor man's IB: developed as an alternative to paying for IB authorization and other IB fees.....

Okay, so it's used in 18 countries. That's nice. Does it work?

Google is your friend. The research is out there. If you care there is much - and it seems you do - get out there end investigate.

I am a social scientist. I have looked in the usual places. The research is not out there.

Not sure how you are at your job, but you appear to lack a lot of common sense when it comes to basic research skills and use of the Internet and telephone.

My employer seems satisfied with my work. I am looking for peer reviewed work evaluating this "International Middle Years Curriculum" against basic benchmarks or student outcomes. This research is plentiful and available for the IB Middle Years Curriculum.. If it exists for the IMYC, where is it?
