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!
Yangon Academy’s Honor Thy Teacher Event (Students Pay Homage to Their Teachers).
In a powerful and poignant ceremony, the secondary school students at Yangon Academy honored their teachers for their dedication to student learning and for ensuring the students’ well-being. Held at the secondary campus on Friday, June 8, the Honor Thy Teacher tradition was, for many teachers, a new experience that provided a joyful and emotional culmination to the school year. While the teachers of Yangon Academy were thankful to the students for hosting such a heart-felt day of ceremony, the teachers were even more grateful to the children for being such wonderful students throughout the entire school year!
