This week, we spotlight our eleven-grader Apoorv, who joined ISR in 2016. Apoorv is currently in Year 1 of the IB Diploma Program and after graduation, he wants to study Engineering or Data Science in the UK or the Netherlands. During the time-intensive preparations in his IB program, Apoorv keeps his stress low by creating a regular study schedule to monitor his progress in his subjects. His work both inside and outside the classroom has made him a top-performing student in Maths, Physics, Computer Science, and Economics. ”We are especially excited about his research on negative externalities of pollution in Economics to complete his Extended Essay. We wish him luck in Year 2 to reach his university aims!” as his Academic Head, Ms. McGee adds.

Apoorv has a friendly and polite nature, and he is a student who completes his tasks with conscientiousness. This is also reflected in Computer Science as he not only shows analytical skills but also works very well and actively participates in lessons. Apoorv is also convincing in physics classes, and not only with his academic achievements but also with his excellent sense of humor, “I started teaching Apoorv for the first time this year. He is a keen and talented physics student with a good sense of humor. He is polite and good-natured and is self-motivated to do well in his studies,” says his Science teacher, Mr. O´Brian.
