Hello, we are OSC

We are trusted by IB schools and teachers across the world to provide supplementary support for their students. Founded in 1990 by an IB teacher, we are still run by the founder’s daughter, Kim Polgreen, with the same commitment to quality, and to the IB philosophy itself. Our team is passionate about promoting international and community-mindedness through education. This is reflected in our mission statement.

We support IB schools by delivering bespoke revision and study skill workshops to their students

ISB was looking to partner with an organisation that had a solid track record in the field of IB teaching. It was important to us that our students would avail of expertise that came from experienced and qualified teachers who had a deep understand of the IB Diploma Programme. OSC ticked all those boxes.

I wanted to email to say thank you for the visit. The feedback from the students was fantastic. The teachers said the form 11s returned from the lunchtime session buzzing with ideas. The evening session was also great. We have never had such a good turnout. The staff who were present were talking about it and commented on how compelling and informative the presentation was.

We are proud to support a selection of philanthropic educational projects

There is no doubt that the time spent by Layla and Helen and the resources you put at our disposal have made me more enthusiastic about my commitment as an IBDP History teacher and Admissions Advisor. I really look forward to doing my utmost best to better impact the present and future needs of my students as a result of this encounter. I strongly feel I am now fit to join the association of IBDP teachers reputed for producing 6s and 7s and making the dream of Enko students, to study in the best universities of the world, come true.
