Reflecting on the success of TASIS England’s Class of 2020, Head of School Bryan Nixon commented: “We feel privileged to have played our part in the learning journeys of such an intelligent and ambitious group of students. By nurturing their intellectual curiosity and inspiring them to become internationally minded, we have facilitated their determination and drive to choose the right pathway for life-long learning and to fulfill their potential. Not only have they achieved placements at top-tier universities and colleges around the world, but they have also chosen institutions that match their own learning and aspirations for their future. We’re excited for them as they take their next steps.”
