IAL Mathematics Resit Prep - Harrow International School

Countdown to Christmas!
Holiday Programmes at Harrow Bangkok
IAL Mathematics: Franziska Adams
This course is designed for advanced level students to cover a wide range of skills, primarily focusing on Core
12, Core 34, Mechanics and Statistics. Students from Y12 and Y13 should apply but advanced Y11 students may
also wish to attend, subject to experience. Key examination strategies and good practice will be developed and
students can elect to study the courses with which they require the most support. With experienced and
qualified educators, this will be a popular course for those seeking to improve their examination results.
