Griggs China and SHBS are proud to celebrate the many wonderful offers received by the Class of 2024!
Regarding the outstanding achievements, let's hear what Chris Moses, the foreign principal of SHBS, has to say about it.
Our students have developed greater self-confidence, explored their intellectual interests, and honed their leadership skills in a wide variety of extracurricular activities.
While lists and rankings can provide a snapshot of students’ accomplishments, they only tell a small part of a much larger, much more meaningful process of learning and personal growth.
Students’ applications are a starting point, in which they reflect upon and refine their own stories. They distill their experiences, share insights garnered from failures and successes, and connect present interests to future ambitions. In telling these stories, SHBS students are frequently praised for their authenticity—for how genuinely they’ve undertaken their learning—and ultimately this is what translates over and again into excellent offers.
While admissions results are often shared as “outcomes,” in truth they do reflect more of a starting point for a further journey, an early grounding for greater success. More than top 10 or top 30 on any one of a number of arbitrary and manipulable lists, the foundation that SHBS graduates have for long-term achievement, in college and beyond, carries the greatest weight. I think of multiple alumni who earned top marks and pursued transfer opportunities or, just recently, of the happiness I felt in seeing a student who had “middling” performance in high school receive an offer from a top graduate program at UC Berkeley, after having done extremely well in college.
This year, SHBS graduates have indeed found wonderful steppingstones on which to continue their larger journey. They have earned places at flagship public universities; gained full offers—unconditional acceptances—from top UK institutions; been admitted to a number of leading liberal arts colleges; and, received significant scholarships from the best universities in Canada.
The breadth of these opportunities reflects the purpose-focused, best-fit approach used in our advising at SHBS: to help students to learn more about themselves, so they can recognize the best sorts of environments for their continued growth.
Just as with our first five years’ graduates, we know the Class of 2024 will continue to excel in a fantastic diversity of meaningful pursuits, reflecting the very best ways the SHBS community has inspired them.
