Devised and developed by the Diploma teachers at St. Clare's, these unique courses enable students to refine and develop their knowledge, understanding and study skills in preparation for the final year of their IB Diploma programme.

The IB review course provides a means for students to experience a bit of ‘life as a student' and to spend time in some of the university colleges.

The course provides an opportunity for students to review their progress during the first year of Diploma studies and to identify and address any areas of weakness. The number of places is limited to 30 students per week. The teaching programme will be tailored as far as possible to the needs of individual students, on the basis of the information submitted with their initial application for a place.

Each week the teaching programme includes:
•  formal subject classes (10 hours)
•  seminars with subject specialist (2 hours)
•  individual tutorials with an experienced IB tutor (1 hour)
•  IB lectures (eg. TOK, International affairs) (1 hour)
•  a study trip/excursion/ university lecture (3 hours)
•  an interview with a university admissions/career adviser (1 hour)

The IB diploma review runs for three weeks. Students will opt for a different subject each week.

Studying at St. Clare's
Situated in the heart of the College and open throughout the year, the extensive resources of the St. Clare's library are made available to all 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 is an invaluable resource for Diploma teachers and students. ICT facilities including high speed Internet access are available to students within the library and locations throughout the College.

A typical weekly programme:

Work Outside Class
Every IB student is expected to spend some time in private study each evening, before activities begin. This enables students to consolidate work covered in the day and to prepare for the next day's studies.
Student Progress
Progress in class is monitored by the relevant class teachers and the Course Director.
Reports
Students receive a written report for all classes taken. These reports detail the work covered and comment upon performance and ability in the subject.
Course Materials
All teaching materials are included in the course fees.
