The Cohort

While this cohort demonstrated admirable academic strength, what stood out most was their ability to support one another and approach school life with balance, generosity and a genuine sense of enjoyment. The respect they earned from their teachers and the strong connections they built with one another give us great confidence that they are well prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

These achievements also reflect the continued strength of our HEROIC learning model, which fosters excellence not only academically, but across all areas of personal growth.

We are immensely proud of the Class of 2025 and the young adults they have become. We look forward to witnessing the promising post-school pathways that now await them.
