- Students
requiring extra English language support may have an additional
4 hours per week.
- Subject studies
concentrate on English language and general academic skills.
- Students
are expected to take part in the College's activities programme.
This helps to develop English language outside the classroom.
- Students
may transfer to the International Baccalaureate Preparatory Course
(Pre-IB) if their English language improves. On this course, students
take additional subject studies in English, and have fewer class
hours in English language.
