AsIwritethiswehavejustreceivedourbesteveriGCSEresultsforthe2020 22cohort,wearevery pleased with the achievements of our students, and I think this reflects well on the ethos of academicexcellenceatNLCSJeju.

Last year we initiated an academic support program for our boarding students and we are especially proud of the success this achieved in the examinations For this cohort Boarding studentsachievedourbesteverresultsandwere20%morelikelytoachieveatleast9A*/Agrades intheiriGCSEsthantheirpeers.Wewillbecontinuingwiththissuccessfulprogramthisyearsothat allstudentshavethesupporttheyneedtofullyachievetheirpotential.

Our KS4 curriculum here at NLCS Jeju does not end with the examined subjects,webelieveour educational program provides the best possible preparation for the next stage inyouracademic career, we provide a huge range of broad enrichment experiences, and social development opportunities We are launching both a new Critical Thinking course and a renewed Personal Social Development course, these are designed to prepareourstudentstoberesilientscholars, academically honest and independent thinkers Thecriticalthinkingcourseespeciallyislooking aheadtoourstudentsfuturedevelopmentneedsforsuccessinIBDiplomaPrograminyear12and 13.
