              - Students 
                who require additional English language support may take extra 
                English lessons in place of World Literature or Mathematics.
 
              - Subjects 
                are taught by teachers who have qualifications in teaching of 
                English as a foreign language or experience of teaching non-native 
                speakers of English.
 
              - The emphasis 
                in all subjects is on the development of relevant academic skills 
                to prepare for IB Diploma work.
 
              - In the fifth 
                module, students may prepare for IELTS examinations, and the programme 
                may be modified to give more time for this. English language IELTS 
                preparation may replace Science and Humanities.
 
                Students not taking the IELTS test (including native speakers) 
                undertake project work in Science and Humanities. 
              - In addition 
                to the above programme, students are also expected to engage in 
                the College's activities programme.
 
              - Please note 
                that students accepted on the pre-IB programme are not automatically 
                accepted for the IB Diploma programme. We only accept on the IB 
                Diploma programme students who we feel have a sound chance of 
                success.
