When should I apply?

There are no deadlines for applications to the IB Easter Institute courses. However, you should register as soon as possible to be certain that the accommodation and space in the classes you have chosen are still available. If you apply less than 3 weeks before the start of the course, you should send the full fees with your Application Form.

When will you send me further information?

We will respond to your application straight away, to confirm that we have received your details and deposit, and to confirm that your place has been reserved on the courses you have chosen. We will also send you other information and your receipt and/or invoice for the balance of the fees.

In March, you will receive an information pack with all your joining instructions, such as a map, information on all the academic and social details.

We look forward to welcoming you to St.Clare's.
