Long-time TASIS IB Diploma Coordinator Howard Stickley began his hard-earned "retirement" by fighting tirelessly on the behalf of the School's IB Diploma candidates, many of whom were unhappy with the initial scores they received on this year's controversial assessments. We are now pleased to report that 38 TASIS IB Diploma recipients have had their scores moderated upward, and many are now on their way to universities that had withdrawn conditional offers back in May. The average score for IB Diploma recipients in the TASIS Class of 2020 has risen to 34.1.

Many Paths to Success
TASIS students driven to find a home at an outstanding university can do so by pursuing an IB Diploma or by taking a number of AP courses and scoring highly on the corresponding exams. They may further bolster their candidacy by performing well on standardized tests, writing excellent personal statements, and exhibiting an impressive commitment to a combination of the arts, athletics, local and global service, and leadership positions on or off campus.
In short, there are many paths to success at TASIS. This month we offer a look at six more exemplary students from the Class of 2020.
