Our workshop leaders are all highly experienced Diploma teachers, coordinators, and examiners. They are all approved by the regional office in Geneva.
The small size of our workshops means that the leaders are able to give participants individual attention, and our lively social programme enables the leaders to get to know participants outside the formal classroom setting. Some leaders are from St.Clare's itself whilst others may be 'returners' who having moved on in their careers, relish the opportunity to revist Oxford and the College. Each year we also welcome many leaders from IB schools around the world. This ensures a truly international mix of leaders and participants at our workshop events.| History | Andy Dailey |
