      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.

        18 hours of subject teaching over the week.

        courses in Science, Mathematics, English and Individuals and Societies
