International School Award
We are very proud to have been awarded Foundation level of the British Council’s prestigious International School Award in recognition of our work to bring the world into the classroom. The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council’s work with schools, so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life and work in today’s world.

While each year of high school will have its own stressors, many will say junior year is the most challenging. Junior year can be the hardest for several reasons, but with the right prep and expectations, high school students can make the hardest year just a little easier.
Finishing high school with all A's is a big goal that will take a lot of work, but if you commit to your studies, keep up on your work, and ask for help and support when you need it, you've got this. Just make sure you strike a balance between school and taking care of yourself.
Going into high school, many students hear that freshman year is the “easiest” year. Some think that colleges don't consider it as much as they do the remaining three years. While this is typically true, it doesn't mean that students should dismiss the importance of their freshman year.
