Congratulations to the Class of 2021 at the European International School, who have completed their IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma! The 100% pass rate and the students' average grade of 35.2 – exceeding the world average – demonstrates the calibre of the students and their commitment to their academics. One student, Tuong Thuy Hoang in particular is to be commended for achieving the highest possible score, 45, placing her in the top 1% of students worldwide.
These results are even more impressive because 17 students who made up the Class of 2021 have all overcome immense challenges posed by the DP itself and the interruption to their education and additional stresses resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. Each student has achieved great things, overcome their own personal obstacles and should be proud of their accomplishments. This group of young people have contributed an enormous amount to the school community, the local community and have been wonderfully supportive of each other throughout these two difficult years. As Thuy says "The sense of community and tight knit model at EIS helped me to fit in when I joined the school in Grade 11. Also, during some of my toughest times studying the IB DP the EIS teachers helped me to overcome these moments so I could succeed."
EIS’s personalised approach to learning gives the students the ability to build their confidence to succeed academically and build life skills they can use after their school life.
EIS starts working with each individual student on their post study pathway from Grade 10, whether they choose to take a gap year, enter an apprenticeship or go to university. This means the students have plenty of time to explore what careers pique their interest, and the diploma subjects they may need to open the doors to the right university and career. This personalised approach to careers and guidance means that the EIS Class of 2021 has been accepted in many of the top universities worldwide, including Kings College London, University of Toronto, University of Amsterdam and Savannah College of Arts and Design to name a few. It is exciting to see the students getting offers to study a wide spectrum of programmes from Aerospace Engineering, Medical Biochemistry, Applied Mathematics in the UK, Artificial Intelligence in Finland, International Business in the Netherlands, to Computer Science in Germany and being offered over $350,000 USD in scholarships. EIS’s connection with European universities has also opened new opportunities for students to pursue their careers at wonderful campuses which might not have been considered before. For example, one of EIS’s students will be attending LUT University in Finland, with a 50% scholarship in year 2, and 100% scholarship in year 3, following their passion in Environmental Engineering.
