A Strong Showing for the Class of 2020 on Global University Acceptances
Oct. 9, 2020
Mr. Brian Kelley, DP Coordinator, added, "The Class of 2020 is the third cohort at ISNS to successfully complete the Diploma Programme (DP), continuing ISNS' tradition of academic excellence. This year was unique, as DP students were tasked with completing their coursework online, during a global pandemic. Grade 12 students showed true grit and great character throughout a school year filled with unprecedented challenges that required novel solutions. Through self-determination, the Class of 2020 completed all requirements to successfully earn their diplomas and be admitted to top universities around the world. Using the skills that ISNS strives to develop in each of its students, the Class of 2020 braved an extraordinary situation, showing growth as students and individuals in the process.
The universities that these young women and men will attend have admitted undergraduates that embody what it means to be an ISNS Phoenix. They reinvented themselves during an arduous time and found a way to rise above this challenging situation. Thank you, Class of 2020, for being role models for generations of ISNS graduates to come. As a community, we could not be prouder of your accomplishments. As you embark on your next journey, you are prepared with the tools for success."
We are honored to share that the Class of 2020 has broadened our alumni network by choosing to study in Canada, the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and New Zealand and have earned acceptance into over 20 of the top 100 schools worldwide and have received almost 3.4 Million RMB in scholarships. As the graduates continue on their paths, we wish them all the best in their studies and careers and look forward to seeing them again as ISNS Alumni.
Congratulations, Class of 2020, on your well-deserved successes!
