Having a supportive environment to develop in has been invaluable and has helped form the connections I have made today and ones that I will carry on past high school. I felt support in anything I wanted to pursue,

As my preferred University Course didn’t have specific subject requirements I was able to be flexible in my subject choices and selected subjects I was passionate about. I am happy that I chose to study IB Visual Arts as it trained me to be philosophical and analytical, which I think are important life skills. Throughout the course, I compared different sociocultural and sociopolitical artworks which allowed me to be an open-minded thinker. I was also fortunate to be able to complete Language A and Language B subjects at Higher Level which made me a more attractive, multi-lingual candidate to universities.

Our High School Principal, Ocki Fernandes, said, “I am delighted by the results of our fourth graduating class. The number of students taking IB exams almost doubled in one year and I attribute the success of all of our students, to hard work, commitment and effort. Moreover, the strong and positive relationship between students and teachers led to 90 % of our students’ final scores being within 1 % of their predicted grades. Colleges and universities value schools which accurately and consistently predict grades and academic achievement.”
“At Stamford our students are offered an unparalleled choice in terms of their subjects and graduation pathways. Our students graduate with a US accredited Stamford High School Diploma. Our focus is on helping our students become global citizens in a diverse school environment of over 75 nationalities. Stamford students clearly communicate, creatively problem-solve and effectively collaborate, which are all critical skills required for the future, while focusing on subject choices of which they are passionate.” said Dr. Eric Sands, Superintendent at Stamford.
