Fairview International School, in the Bridge of Allan, has created five new scholarship positions for students aged 15 plus looking to complete their education under the world-renowned International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.
The new positions have been announced after Fairview became the first school in Scotland to offer an uninterrupted passage through IB education for students aged 5-18, having received certification for delivery of the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
The school’s new DP Scholarship positions, available for Academic Excellence or All-Round Achievement, will cover 50% of the successful students’ school fees, seeing them through their final two years at school (5th and 6th Year/Year 12 and 13).
Accessibly located on the central belt of Scotland, Fairview is now accepting applications from prospective DP scholarship students for enrolment in the upcoming academic year, beginning August 2023.
With presence in over 150 countries and more than 5,000 IB World Schools worldwide, the International Baccalaureate is a globally renowned leader in international education with a unique approach to learning.
A universally recognised curriculum, the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme (IBDP) for students aged 15 plus, is designed to develop well-rounded and open-minded individuals through the application of student-centred learning, and is a qualification highly sought after by top universities across the globe.
Taking learning beyond the classroom, Fairview’s scholarship students will be supported to engage with out-of-school activities in order to achieve their full potential and prepare for life beyond Fairview.
Headteacher David Hicks said:“By bringing in these additional scholarships, we hope to support a number of talented students through their final years at school to engage in their passions while preparing for their next steps in life. For senior students considering joining the school at this stage in their education, one of the greater benefits of enrolling in the IBDP is the desirability of that qualification from universities and further education institutions.
“Additionally, those who are awarded a scholarship will have access to the school’s wonderful resources, including international educators, global connections, and exceptional universal learning opportunities. With our new Diploma HUB open exclusively to our DP students, senior students also have a recently refurbished space to socialise and study.”
Fairview International School, formed in Malysia in 1978, is known to be among the world’s best-performing private schools delivering the IB, with a proven track record of graduates consistently achieving a pass rate of 100 per cent.
DP scholarship applicants will be required to submit their academic results and reports as well as writing a letter explaining why they are a strong candidate for scholarship consideration, why they wish to study the IB Diploma at Fairview and what they can bring to the Fairview community. Awards, prizes or any additional extracurricular achievements will also be considered as part of the application.
