St. Clare's IB Diploma follows a three-term system. The first term runs
from late August to mid-December, with a one-week half-term break. The
second term runs from early January to Easter, with a short break in February
and a two-week break around Easter. The third term runs from the end of
the Easter break to mid-June. There is no half-term break in the third
term. Second year students take their examinations in May and graduate
usually in the last week of May.
