Vancouver 2 Week

Introduction

In 2012, we introduce our popular 2 Week Pre IBDP Summer School to Canada, for students who are about to begin their International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP) in the following school term.

The course will be based at the University of British Columbia in the vibrant city of Vancouver.

Our OSC Pre IBDP Summer School Vancouver 2 Week Course has been carefully designed to give students the best possible start in their IBDP studies by introducing them to the rigours of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and ensuring they have the skills they need to succeed.

The programme is prepared using the combined expertise of our Academic Team, all of whom are highly experienced IBDP teachers.

We have 22 years' experience of running residential courses in the UK, North America and Australia for IB students from around the world.
