I remain immensely grateful for the excellent education I received in high school. In retrospect, the seeds were likely sown through the vertical pastoral care homeroom system and the many leadership opportunities at Somerset and the IB Diploma course.

Studying the IB Diploma programme at Somerset helps you go out into the world so much more prepared. I was actually very surprised with how prepared I was when I graduated. I discovered I had already developed skills my peers were learning while they were in university and studying other things.

The relationships I have formed with my teachers will stay with me for the rest of my life. I have become closer to my teachers because I feel encouraged to learn when they are eager to teach. My teachers want me to succeed.

Somerset provides an environment where everyone is encouraged and indeed expected to pursue excellence and achieve the goals we set for ourselves.
