Director’s Notes
The AP Results Have Arrived! In the 2016-2017 school year we continued to add new AP courses; AP Psychology and AP Physics 1 this time, and the good news is that YA High School students did very well in all subjects when compared to the Global averages.AP scores range from a maximum score of 5 down to a minimum of 1. Generally, scores of 3 or above are given advanced university credit when a student registers for university courses.
Take a look at the table below to see the actual data. Congratulations students and teachers!
Ad astra! To the stars!
Rotary International Visits Yangon Academy
On Friday, May 4, Yangon Academy was honored to host several special guests from Rotary International. Visiting the School and speaking to all of our high school students was Mr. Paul Netzel, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Rotary International Foundation. As some of you may know, Rotary International is an American-founded international service club focused on providing community service throughout the world. Currently, Rotary International is working on providing 100 villages in Myanmar’s Delta region with the facilities and systems needed for clean drinking water.
Mr. Netzel’s remarks resonated with both our students and faculty as he spoke about one of our prime Student Learning Outcomes – developing responsible global citizens. Here at Yangon Academy, we will be starting the very first Rotary-sponsored, junior-level community-service club in all of Myanmar. This Club, called “Interact”, will be formally launched next August at the start of the school year. With this student-leadership initiative, Yangon Academy hopes to realize the inspiring motto of Rotary International, “Service Above Self.”
