IB Diploma Introduction
Easter vacation - 3 April - 14 April 2006

As long standing experts in the provision of the IB we offer two revision courses at Easter.

1. Intensive revision courses for second year Diploma students
2. Chinese A1 - support for 'self study' students

 

1. Intensive revision course for 2nd year diploma students
The purpose of the revision courses is to provide students with an opportunity to review the work covered in their Diploma programme and to embark upon a structured programme of preparation for examination in May or November.
The courses are an ideal way to prepare in an organised and structured manner, for final Diploma examinations. Away from the interruptions of normal school and home routines, small class sizes enable individual attention to problem areas.

All courses include:
· A review of work covered but not fully understood
· Topics which frequently appear in examinations
· Topics which students typically tend to find difficult
· Practice on questions from past examination papers
· Opportunities to address individual difficulties

Subjects available:
Students will normally elect for a different subject on each of the four courses

2. Chinese A1 - support for self study students
3 April - 14 April 2006 - An introduction to A1 Chinese
This course is for native Chinese speakers who are in their first year of the IB Diploma course and are taking Chinese A1 as a supported self study option.
The programme provides a complete course for students following the Chinese A1 course as a self study option. A combination of residential courses and distance learning methods will enable students to receive high quality guidance and support from an expert in the field.
The two week residential course during the Easter holiday provides an introduction to the Chinese A1 course, and as such is regarded as a compulsory component. Subsequent residential courses will be available during the Summer and Autumn holidays.
Tutorial support will be provided using distance learning methods, to enable students to continue working toward their final examinations in May 2007.
During the two week Easter course, students will attend Chinese A1 classes with St. Clare's own A1 Chinese IB tutor, a highly experienced Chinese national and literature expert.
Students will also be expected to complete a number of assignments over the two week period.

Three further residential weeks will be available to these students in future vacations:
3 April - 14 April 2006
2 x 1 week residential course
22 July - 4 August 2006 2 x 1 week residential
22 October - 28 October2006 1 week residential
Course fees:
Cost for one week's residential : £785
Total cost : five weeks residential courses : £3260
Distance learning fee : £ 600 pa

Students taking part in this programme will be expected to attend at least two out of the five residential weeks available, and to follow the remainder of the programme through distance learning methods.
