The British School offers structured opportunities for students to reflect and act on their professional aspirations. A Careers and University Guidance programme offers advice on university applications and career choices and includes a two-week Work Experience programme for all Class 10 students.
In Classes 9 to 11 all students have an interview each year with the Careers and University Applications Officer or a member of the management team. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss possible career paths and to encourage students to reflect on their possible interests beyond the IB. Meetings are also held in groups or individually and students have access to relevant information and material on career choices.
In the second term of Class 10, students undertake a one to two-week Work Experience programme. The careers service has established contact with a variety of businesses and professional areas which offer our students first hand experience of a particular working environment. This opportunity has proved to be very useful in encouraging students to actively think about possible careers. The school always welcomes offers from businesses or parents able to provide further opportunities of this kind for our students.
"If you study during the IB
there is no problem in passing the ‘Vestibular’.
I didn’t do Biology or Chemistry in the IB and answered
the questions with what I had learned in the IGCSE."
