Students of ACS Doha International School during their graduation ceremony.
Doha: ACS Doha International School recently held its seventh graduation ceremony. The graduation was attended by over 250 well-wishers including VIP guests, family members, faculty and friends.
Among the dignitaries present were key note speaker Melkart Rouhana, Chief Engagement Officer of MRT Consultants, recognised as a world-renowned culture, leadership, and service expert, as well as several key corporate partners of ACS Doha International School.
A total of 42 students successfully completed their High School Diploma, and for many this included the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, an extremely rigorous internationally recognised pre-university qualification. Many among the graduating class have gained acceptance into prestigious international universities.
“Having been a part of many of these students’ lives over the past seven years at ACS Doha, and now watching them receive their diplomas and embark on the next chapter of their lives is bittersweet. While we will miss seeing them in a place that many of them have called home for several years, we know that we have prepared them academically, and holistically to be ready for what comes next,” said Robert Cody, Head of ACS International School Doha.
Among the students who graduated were award winners, whose outstanding achievements were upheld for special commendation. Apart from the Valedictorian, Esme Moon Fairbrother and Salutatorian Haneul Choi who were recognised for their exceptional academic performance, a Community Service Award Sultan Al Mannai, a Class Historian Award Rayan Nasrallah and The ACS Founders’ Award Nada Alaeddine acknowledged the remarkable contributions made by ACS Doha’s students, across various spheres of achievement.
Evident in the early admissions to top tier universities, was the impact that the academic pathways had offered in terms of future opportunities for the graduating class. Several of the graduates will go on after completing their IBPD programs in medicine at universities such us University of California, Berkley, University of Ottawa, Pen state University, and New Castle University Medicine Malaysia.
Students who pursued the Career-related Programme (CP) and Advanced Placement (AP) courses also found success in admissions in pursuing higher level studies in the arts at universities such as Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), and New York School of Interior Design, while others secured hospitality industries well known Les Roches University in Switzerland.
