IB approved leaders

IB certification

We provide an official certificate of attendance for all participants who sucessfully complete the course. This not only enhances your own CV but also provides evidence of continuing professional development - a requirement for IB World school five year evaluation.

IBDP - specific resources

St.Clare's Oxford is England's longest established IB World school.

The IB teacher workshops thus enjoy access to a number of our IB Diploma focused resources including the library, science laboratories and Visual Arts studio.
Small groups

Our workshops are small and informal. Our preferred group size is 12 with an absolute maximum of 15 participants, and we usually run no more than four subjects at any one time. Our online workshops have a maximumn group size of 12.

This ensures that participants can easily share ideas within their workshop groups as well as enjoying the small scale, informal social events.
The International College

Just a short walk away from the IB college, the International College at Bardwell road provides the perfect venue for our teacher workshops.

The venue is approximately a three minute walk from the Linton Lodge hotel - where the vast majority of our participants stay.
Walking tour of Oxford

All participants attending a face to face event are offered a guided walking tour of the fascinating historic Oxford City Centre.

This lasts about two hours and usually takes place in the late afternoon after workshop sessions on the first day.

Where posssible we incorporate an Oxford-inspired activity, resource or personality into our online events.
Great food

With the expert college catering team serving our needs - high quality refreshment and meal breaks are integral to our workshop events and are greatly appreciated by all our participants.

Sadly of course, we have yet to find a way of delivering this experience virtually.

All refreshments, lunches and evening meals are included in the face to face workshop fee of £850.
