When John Drogan and his family moved to Latvia, he faced a significant academic challenge: he needed to complete two school years in just one year.
John already had a good command of English, but he needed to develop his language skills to an academic level and prepare for admission to universities in the United States.
He joined SHKOLA and chose the Self-Study format, which allowed him to organize his learning around his individual pace and goals while receiving academic support from the school’s teachers and team.
What did John achieve?
-
Completed the academic requirements for two grades within one year
-
Developed his English to the level required for academic studies
-
Prepared for and achieved an impressive SAT score of 1437 out of 1600
-
Received admission offers from several leading U.S. universities, including institutions ranked among the top 200 universities in the United States
Among them:
-
Brown University — a member of the prestigious Ivy League
-
Pennsylvania State University
-
University of Colorado Boulder
John’s results are first and foremost the result of his own dedication, discipline, and hard work. At the same time, such an achievement is also the result of the support of the entire SHKOLA team. Our teachers and academic staff helped him navigate an intensive academic program, prepare for international admission, and stay focused on his goals.
His story demonstrates that a flexible learning format can help motivated students build an individual academic pathway while working toward ambitious international goals.
We are proud of John’s achievements and congratulate him on this important step toward his future.
