Education Perfection!

Education Perfection! Last week, it was once again competition time on the online learning platform Education Perfect. Last week, it was once again competition time on the online learning platform Education Perfect.

In previous years, the Education Perfect International Language Championships lasted for one week, but this year it took place over just two days, so the students had to hit the ground running.  

Teamwork really did make the dream work on this occasion, as the students did just that, rallied together and rocketed to a 1st place lead on day one. The enthusiasm and tension were palpable throughout as other schools’ points totals increased overnight, but by the end of day two and after over 700 combined hours of hard graft, our lead was quite simply unassailable. Once again, our students did us and themselves proud by gaining the top spot globally out of 134 schools!  

The statistics speak for themselves: with a combined score of almost 200 000, we beat 2nd place by over 55,000 points, answered half a million of the 5.5 million questions answered by all schools, and in addition to being the top-scoring school globally, achieved 2nd place in French, Spanish, Arabic and Italian.   

Students are also awarded certificates for their efforts after gaining 500 (Credit), 1000 (Bronze), 1500 (Silver) and so on up to over 6000 points (Elite). 83 BIS Abu Dhabi students gained Credit, 19 Bronze, 11 Silver and 2 Gold certificates – namely Haaym (8C) and Matteo (8B). A fantastic effort all round, especially by Year 8! 

Special congratulations also go to Elyssar (9B) for achieving an Emerald Certificate after gaining over 4000 points and Dongha (9B) for achieving an Elite certificate with a massive 6890 points, making him the 9th top-scoring student globally! 

Thanks to everyone for their collective efforts, well done to all who participated and doing us proud in yet another nail-biting, edifying and ultimately satisfying Education Perfect competition!
