Her comments reflect the thoughts of many OSA alumni: “Old Scona Academic was a wonderful life-changing experience for me. The school, staff and programme of studies helped me to mature socially and intellectually. The small school and family atmosphere allowed me to form many close friendships that still exist today. Upon receiving my Ph.D. at Cambridge, I wore my OSA school ring as a way of paying tribute to a great school where high expectations and excellence all began for me. OSA is truly one of the best schools in the world.” At Old Scona, our priority is to provide you with a positive and purposeful learning environment. Through top quality instruction and caring support, the staff at Old Scona Academic aim to nurture a meaningful and inviting learning culture that enables all students to challenge and achieve to their academic potential.

    The IEA’s Education Director, Dr Steve Davies, said: “This year the average quality was very high, which made the task of the judges in picking the top four entries very demanding.

There was also a larger number of schools represented than in previous years and a very even spread of answers over the three topics. The responses to the question on how to improve the A Level syllabus were in general both original and thoughtful. All of the top entries showed both clarity of argument and originality of thought, as well as evidence of original research. I would like to extend my warmest…
