Pre-IB Summer School

The Program that will boost your grades during IBDP. No procrastination. No overwhelm. During MYP students don’t (really) feel the pressure of IB. Yet. But starting with 11th grade things change dramatically. The number and the complexity of tasks increases / skyrockets, draining many students off their willpower and blowing up their self-confidence. In the first months of 11th grade procrastination and overwhelm take over, causing many students to acquire results way below their potential. ​ Pre-IB Summer School is the place where MYP students are prepared in advance for IBDP challenges. ​ It is a cosy and welcoming space for learning where we introduce students through learning techniques, into the syllabus of 11th and 12th grade. Each IB subject will be presented to the student and explained what is expected from him in terms of wriiten assigments and also how to prepare for the final exam. Students are taught to set goals, to pursue them through planning and most of all, to take responsibility of their work. These are very important skills to have when starting 11th grade. They will be trained in our T.E.M.P.E.R.A Framework, that will equip them with solid skills in time management and efficient learning. Due to the double specialisation of our staff (IB teachers and psychologists), sessions are based on psychological techniques that enhance concentration, memory, logical and critical thinking, but also coping with exam anxiety.
