             Introduction 
              The pre-IB course 
              is intended for students: 
            
              - who require 
                further academic preparation before starting the IB Diploma
 
              - who need 
                to improve their English language before starting the IB
 
              - who join 
                us during the academic year too late to begin the IB Diploma
 
              - who wish 
                to take a study break at St. Clare's before returning to their 
                own school.
