Getting into G5 Universities

As Headteacher at the International School, I cannot overstate the importance of the super-curricular for students aspiring to gain entry into G5 universities. Academic excellence is just the baseline; what truly sets applicants apart is their ability to demonstrate intellectual curiosity and readiness for university-level study through meaningful super-curricular activities. Whether it’s conducting independent research, engaging in subject-specific initiatives, or gaining hands-on experience, these activities show depth of interest and academic maturity.

In my experience, students who embrace the super-curricular not only excel in their applications but also thrive at university. Preparing students to visualise their unique strengths and articulate them in a way that resonates with Admissions Officers is a powerful approach. For ambitious students, investing in the right guidance and preparation is key to success.
