THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, August 9, 2019 Page 5 Record number of Mystic Valley students receive IB diplomas T hirteen members of the Class of 2019 at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School (MVRCS) earned their International Baccalaureate (IB) Diplomas recently, establishing a new school record. The students all completed a rigorous complement of requirements, joining an exclusive and elite club nationwide in collecting the distinction. Additionally, they join past MVRCS graduates – the number now stands at 93 Mystic Valley students who hold IB Diplomas, which are deemed the pinnacle of academic achievement, since the program’s inception in the high school in 2005. “This is a proud moment for our school, its students and the community,” MVRCS Assistant Director Matthew Stone said. “The IB program is a true point of pride for Mystic Valley, and the number of recipients illustrates the growth of the program and the remarkable achievements of our students.” The 13 students who received their diplomas are Christina Bibilos (from Melrose, will atdine drink gather enjoy Friday, August 9 at 9 PM The North Shore's Greatest Party Band WILDFIRE Saturday, August 10 at 9 PM BACK TO THE 80'S SUMMER BASH! tend Boston University), Tsz Chan (Malden, UMass-Amherst), Jonah Crain (Melrose, Texas Christian University), Joshua Cram (Malden, Boston University), Romish Khatri (Medford, Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Talia Mamayek (Melrose, Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Savanna Moy (Malden, UMass-Amherst), Ethan Nguyen (Melrose, University of Texas, Austin), Julie Pereira (Malden, College of the Holy Cross), Allan St. Clair (Melrose, College of the Holy Cross), Thuy-Tam Vo (Malden, UMass-Amherst), MacKenzie Wentzell (Stoneham, Syracuse University) and Jake Williams (Peabody, Bryant University). Those mentioned not only excelled in the classroom but epitomized well-rounded young men and women as they were student leaders who were active in the athletics program and extracurricular activities. MVRCS is one of just 868 IB Diploma Programs across America, offering students an opportunity to earn college credit, and the program has demonstrated success and benefits in the college admission process. The IB core, which is required of all IB Diploma recipients, includes an extended essay, a 4,000-word maximum independent journal research–style paper and a community service component as well as completion of the Theory of Knowledge course, a philosophy cross-curricular offering covering ways of knowing. In addition, students must take and complete five IB classes spanning the subjects of literature, language acquisition, individuals and societies (history), sciences, mathematics and the arts. The IB Diploma is a two-year endeavor as students begin their path during junior year. The IB program began in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1968 – specifically designed to be internationally recognized. The IB is regarded in nearly every country as the preeminent college preparatory program. In addition to the MVRCS Class of 2019’s IB diploma recipients and candidates, over 90% of the class took at least one IB class, a statistic that has steadily grown over the past five years.
