The camp introduces students to the structure, expectations, and study methods required in the IB, helping them understand how to manage the programme’s academic demands across subjects.

Participants develop essential skills in organization, time management, critical thinking, and effective learning strategies that will support them throughout the Diploma.

Academics

The academic programme provides structured preparation across the full range of IB Diploma Programme subjects, helping students strengthen conceptual understanding, analytical thinking, and effective study strategies.

Teaching is delivered in small groups, allowing tutors to adapt explanations and practice work to each student’s level while ensuring alignment with IB assessment expectations.

Students may receive support in the following subjects at Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL): Mathematics (Analysis & Approaches – AA; Applications & Interpretation – AI), Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Systems & Societies (ESS), Economics, Business Management, Psychology, History, and English A. The programme focuses on clarifying key concepts, strengthening academic writing and problem-solving skills, and developing the organisation and study structure required to succeed across all six IB subjects.

What you'll do

Alongside the academic programme, students have the opportunity to participate in a range of carefully selected extracurricular activities designed to support personal development, social interaction, and cultural enrichment.

These activities may include guided city exploration, informal discussion sessions, collaborative problem-solving workshops, and reflective learning exercises aligned with the TEMPERA framework.

The aim is to create a balanced experience where students not only strengthen their academic skills but also develop confidence, intercultural awareness, and meaningful connections with peers in a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment.

Accommodation and food

Students are accommodated in a carefully selected hotel located close to the learning venue, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and convenient environment throughout the programme. Accommodation includes breakfast and lunch, and students are supervised by a member of the programme team who stays in the same hotel to provide support and ensure student well-being during the camp.

Getting there

CampusWhile we don’t provide accommodation with supervision, we’re happy to support the student in finding a suitable place to stay, or you might consider turning it into a family trip. Alternatively, the sessions can be held online if that’s more convenient for you.
