The Community Project is a formative experience to learn by doing and experiencing challenges of global significance.
The Showcase is a marker of growth and development within the Middle Years Programme, which runs from Grades 6-10 at Morris Jeff. During the Showcase, all 8th grade students share about the projects, what they learned, how they collaborated with others, the impact they created, and how they can expand their reach in the future. This event is a celebrated milestone and valuable experience of a student’s IB education.
