Bishopstrow College Classroom BuildingWe will be launching some new programmes in 2016, to complement the College’s existing Lower, Middle and Upper College Programmes (English and academic pathway/preparation programmes).

Academic Summer Programme

The Academic Summer Programme lasts 5 weeks and is aimed at international students who will be joining British boarding schools in the Autumn and at those who wish to sample British education in the summer.  The Programme will run alongside the College’s existing ‘Term 4’, with students on the Programme joining those students enrolled on the Lower, Middle and Upper College Programmes.  We are confident that the Academic Summer Programme will be popular with students who do not want to commit a full 10-11 weeks to Term 4 during the summer.  We will be offering a Referral Fee of 15% to agents for this Programme.   If you would like further details, please contact Mark Jeynes at markj@bishopstrow.com

1 Year IGCSE Programme and Preparatory-IB Programme 

An enhanced 1 Year IGCSE Programme will be introduced in September 2016, with 12 examinable subjects on offer.  This intensive course will appeal to international students aged 15-16 years, with a good intermediate level of English – at least a B2 Level of language ability on the CEFR scale – but who will benefit from the additional English language support available at Bishopstrow, relative to a mainstream boarding school.  The College has an excellent track record in supporting international students secure entry into the sixth form of a leading British boarding school and during their year at Bishopstrow, students will be well prepared for and guided through admissions processes, including entrance examinations and interviews.

For those international students interested in pursuing the IB Diploma in the sixth form, the College will be launching a Pre-IB Programme in September 2016.  This is based on the 1 Year IGCSE Programme, but with additional components (Academic Research Essay and Group Multimedia Project) to prepare students for the ‘core’ modules of the IB Diploma, including the Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay modules.  Meanwhile, the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award Scheme will offer a sound preparation for the Creativity, Action, Service module of the IBD.
