“I’ve just received my IB Diploma results, and I am extremely glad to share that I got a perfect score of 45. My plans for the future are to study pure mathematics at Imperial College London, and hopefully I will pursue a career in academia, going into research and teaching mathematics.
“I would like to thank all of my teachers, all of my peers, but if I had to thank one person in particular it would be our IB Diploma Coordinator, Dr Sunipa Guha Neogi. She has been incredible. There are very few words to describe the kind of support that she has given all of us through this extremely trying and challenging year. She has helped us cope with the challenges of the IB combined with the challenges of remote learning. So, I think it’s been an extremely successful year in no small part due to Dr Sunipa.“The future will need me to exhibit certain skills, which definitely the IB has laid the foundations for. So, I would like to say that I’m cautious, a little anxious, but still confident that my education has prepared me very well for what lies ahead.”Sidharth Hariharan, Valedictorian, GEMS Modern Academy
“I’m planning to attend University of Toronto in Canada to study Life Sciences and specialise in Molecular Biology. I’m so pleased to get these results! I’ve had two days of absolute sleepless nights, and I’m glad that the results reflect the work and commitment that I’ve put in. It was nerve-wracking but I was happy to see my friends get their results as well and share this happiness.It has been a big challenge this year, but we really got together and discussed how to have solutions to these problems and didn’t let anything stand in our way. I’d like to thank all my teachers, they’ve all shown me how to deal with the subjects and love what I’m studying, and because of this I think my performance turned out as well it did.There are still changes in the future that I will have to prepare for as I step into university and adult life, but I feel that these two years have prepared me on how to cope with change, and I feel that I will have the skills I need to succeed. Leaving school is bittersweet; I won’t be able to sit in these classrooms anymore and have fun with my friends, but I am looking forward to the future, and I hope to come back and meet my old friends and teachers and show them where I’ve got to in life.”
Gauri Menon, Age 17, Score of 44, GEMS Modern Academy
GEMS Wellington International School

And although I haven’t decided what major, I’ll probably be looking at Computer Science or Physics, or some sort of blend between the two. I’d like to thank all the teachers here at WIS and all the support staff, who have been incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the years, and this is definitely something I couldn’t have achieved without their support. Moving on to university is going to be a new challenge with a lot of new responsibilities, new opportunities and experiences to make. But it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to.”

Face masks, social distancing and the huge reorganisation of the school’s day-to-day work have added a layer of complexity and difficulty to their studies. So, it is with enormous pride and pleasure that I can report the terrific success of our students, who have shown that despite these disruptions they have the attitude and character to overcome all barriers.”

Jumeira Baccalaureate School
“We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2021. They have been a hugely committed grade group that have worked together, as a caring community, to support each other in these very challenging times. Several students had to work under challenging circumstances, due to their own health or that of family members, and especially the accomplishments of these students deserve a special mention.
The JBS Class of 2021 are deserving of the high results they achieved, and they are well prepared for the next steps in their educational journey. A special thank you to our immensely supportive and dedicated team of teachers that helped to ensure our students obtained these amazing results. This eighth graduation class of JBS saw the highest point score and point score average, which would not have been possible without the efforts of our students and teachers, and the support of the parents!”
