For students about to embark upon an IB Diploma programme.
Devised and developed by the Diploma teachers at St. Clare's, this unique three week course enables students to refine and develop their study skills in preparation for the Diploma programme in their own school.

The course aims to make clear the demands which the Diploma student will face. It gives them an invaluable head start with much of the subject matter as well as providing a firm foundation in those components of the IB Diploma which make it a unique qualification

Introductory courses in Science, Mathematics, English and Individuals and Societies are combined with elements of The Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Action and Service (CAS), and Study Skills.

The Academic Resources Centre (ARC)
Situated in the heart of the College and open throughout the year, the extensive resources of the ARC are made available to all Institute students. The large library facility houses all the texts required for the full range of IB subjects and is a rich source of information and inspiration.

St. Clare's extensive collection of IB past papers and examiners' reports is an invaluable resource for Diploma teachers and students. ICT facilities including high speed Internet access are available to students within the ARC and in many other locations throughout.
