The Preparation Year Programme for the IB Diploma – Year 11

The Year 11 Preparation Year Programme equips students with the skills and knowledge required to meet the demands of the IB Diploma Programme. Each student studies all of the subjects offered in the Diploma Programme, allowing them to make an informed and appropriate choice of subjects for the IB Diploma.

In addition, the programme ensures the well-being of students through Health and Social Education, Recreation and Sport, and through participation in College-wide IB Diploma CAS activities. 

Assessments in Year 11 are designed to familiarise students with the type of learning tasks they will meet in the IB Diploma courses, and will include essays, oral presentations, commentaries and written tasks. There are examinations in term 4.
