π»π³ From adapting to a new learning environment to feeling ready for a world of possibilities - Peter calls what he gained at AIS his βarsenalβ π§°
Across six transformative years at AIS, Peter stepped into the rigour of the IB and discovered that readiness takes more than academic knowledge. Teachers, peers and alumni brought different perspectives to the table, helping Peter develop as a whole person and prepare for challenges far beyond the classroom
β¨ Now, with an offer from NTU Singapore, Peter's journey shows what Vietnamese students can build when internationally recognised learning and personalised support are available right here in Vietnam. Peter is also part of a historic AIS cohort that achieved two perfect 45s, a 100% Diploma pass rate and 68.13% IB Bilingual Diplomas. Exceptional outcomes at the top, with strength across the whole cohort
π₯ Watch Peter reflect on six years of transformation at AIS, a journey he describes in one word: βsurreal!β
π Peter, the arsenal is ready. Now show the world what you can do with it!
