Parents interacting with ABP officials during the Open House.
Qatar Foundation’s Academic Bridge Program’s students, their parents and teachers joined together for the ABP’s annual Parents Open House in Education City. This event gave parents the opportunity to meet with the teachers of their sons and daughters and to learn more about the ABP’s grading system, the academic courses, clubs and activities on offer, and the specific application process for students to gain admission to university next year.
“The ABP curriculum includes a strong emphasis on developing the English speaking, reading, and writing skills of our students so that they will be able to study in first class universities in Qatar, the United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere,” Director of the ABP, Dr Miles Lovelace, said.
The Academic Bridge Program will be admitting new students for the upcoming 2014 Spring Semester from October 15th to November 30, 2013. To be eligible to apply to the ABP, students must have completed high school, preferably with a score of 80 percent.
The minimum score required for entrance to the ABP for the Spring Semester is iBT TOEFL 61 or equivalent IELTS score of 5.0. The Spring Semester begins on the January 7th, 2014.
