Arbor’s First Graduates Achieve Global University Offers

The World’s Best School for Environmental Action is thrilled to announce a significant achievement: its inaugural Year 13 class has received offers from top universities in the UK, US, Europe, and UAE. These successes underscore the excellence of Arbor’s British Sixth Form, which integrates A Levels, BTECs, the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), and a customized future planning program.

Students have been accepted into diverse fields such as architecture, medicine, environmental and sports sciences, engineering, economics, business, and fashion. Many students secured multiple offers and over $1 million in scholarships, showcasing both academic excellence and Arbor’s bespoke post-16 educational paths.

Year 13 student Anna Thompson, who received offers from prestigious UK universities for Psychology, views this as a culmination of her hard work.

“Arbor has significantly boosted my confidence in my academic skills and personal growth,” she remarked. “These offers are a testament to my achievements here.”

Alexander Renner, with eight offers from institutions in the US and UAE for Business, Entrepreneurship, and Analytics, commented: “Arbor instilled in me independence, resilience, and the importance of hard work. Receiving these offers demonstrated the power of dedication and support.”

Julieta Luengo, who received offers for Environmental and Civil Engineering across the UK, US, and Europe, attributes her success to Arbor’s challenging and inspirational environment.

“Arbor encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone,” she stated. “Interactions with figures like Jane Goodall and Isatou Ceesay have profoundly influenced me.”

Head Girl Katie Keeshan, with offers in Politics and International Relations, shared: “Arbor supported my academic journey and provided leadership opportunities that have shaped my development.”

Principal Gemma Thornley commented: “This first cohort represents a proud moment for Arbor. Our students are entering global universities with strong qualifications, confidence, and a clear sense of purpose.”

As more offers arrive daily, Arbor’s first graduating class is poised to leave a significant impact on international higher education—a promising beginning for a Sixth Form already achieving remarkable results.
