Maxine is the first holder of the English College Foundation Scholarship at the English College in Prague. The Scholarship is awarded to a student who wishes to take the IB but whose family would not be able to afford the fees.
Maxine has just started her IB course after a first year she found challenging, especially Physics and Chemistry, which she had never studied before. She enjoyed working on a team project focusing on eco-creativity which helped her with cooperation, time management and experiencing how much work goes behind planning an event.
Now embarked on the IB programme, she is particularly enjoying Philosophy, another new subject. She says: “I’m continuing with my passion for Drama and English, and I appreciate the wide range of topics we cover, as I find all of them interesting. I think these two subjects will really help me with my future studies/career, as I’m planning to either stay in the Czech Republic and do a year abroad, or study in France (I am a dual national). I’d love to study either literature or something with film or media.”
We wish Maxine all the best with her further studies and future career.
