"The diploma programme was incredibly athlete-friendly, offering me the flexibility and support I needed to balance my academic and athletic commitments. My mentors were always proactive, coming up with personal plans that allowed me to focus on both my studies and my overseas competitions without feeling overwhelmed. The lecturers were also exceptionally understanding, always taking the time to ensure I caught up on any missed assignments. They would even go the extra mile by arranging virtual lessons when I was overseas competing, ensuring that I stayed on track academically while pursuing my passion for badminton!"

"The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme encourages students to be well-rounded, from developing critical thinking through Theory of Knowledge (TOK) to contributing back to society through Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) projects. Additionally, the subjects equipped me with academic writing skills and allowed me to explore my areas of interest within the subjects. With Sports School’s three-year extended IBDP, the flexible schedule helped me balance my sports and studies better, allowing me to travel for international competitions while keeping up with my academics. Thankfully, the teachers and coaches here were very supportive and patient, always being there to help whenever I needed it. I definitely wouldn’t have achieved more than 40 points without all their help!"

"I was in disbelief when I found out that got 45 points for my International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Sports School has supported me so well throughout my four years of being here. Firstly, the teachers are always so understanding of my situation. For example, whenever I had a long training day or a competition trial, instead of berating me for not having finished my pre-assigned work, they are always willing to give me extra time to complete it. This also made me more eager to work hard and strive for better grades, as I wanted to do my teachers proud. I feel very thankful for all the support that Sports School has given me throughout my course of study. This includes all the teachers as well as sports staff who have nurtured me into what I am today. I firmly believe that my good results are not just a reflection of my efforts, but also a result of all the hard work of the people around me."
