What sets Global Summers Academy Alumni Apart: An Inspiring Student Ambassador Story

Talking to our alumni, one of the things we hear most frequently is how our summer programs abroad not only helped them gain acceptance to their first choice post-secondary school, but also how it helped pave their way to success in it.

Recently, Frances L. GSA ‘23 and ‘24 and Ambassador ‘24 wrote us to say that she had been offered admission to her dream program at UBC in Biomedical Engineering. She said ‘I truly believe that my experience with Global Summers set me apart from other applicants’. Congratulations Frances.

One of our teachers wrote her a recommendation letter for UBC, and because of our small class sizes, the teacher was able to provide a really comprehensive insight into Frances and her potential in post-secondary studies.

We also know that our graduates have a significantly lower dropout rate when they get there. We believe this is because they are better prepared academically and they have a greater level of maturity and independence as a result of their travel experience with us.

Our Principal, Chris Fuller, is a career Guidance Head and is happy to provide advice.

With best wishes for 2025.

Sam Blyth,

Chair,
