China
Pre-IB Course
‘I spent last year doing the Pre-IB and I benefitted a lot from this course. I had a whole year to get to know the IB system and important things like PSHE, CAS and Personal Tutor meetings. For me the IB is no longer a two-year course but split into three which will make it a lot easier.'

St. Clare's really takes the ethos of the IB to heart'
