International Baccalaureate Diploma
The IB Diploma is a very well established and highly regarded international qualification and students are choosing to study for the IB rather than traditional British A' levels. St. Clare's has a worldwide reputation as experts in providing the IB Diploma. No other school or college in England has been teaching the IB longer than St. Clare's and there are only 13 other institutions in the world who have taught the IB longer than us.

  • With this diploma students are accepted at the best universities and colleges worldwide. The depth and breadth of the Diploma enables students to offer that bit extra not only at higher education institutes but also within future careers.
  • The IB is a two-year programme for students aged 16 and above preparing for university entry.
  • As an international qualification students can follow university or career options within a global market.
  • Time and again, education research and reports show that the make up of the diploma develops a well rounded individual with challenging views.
