We are proud to have been part of that journey for each of our learners.”
Ms. Aparna Prasad, Founder of Knowledgeum, added, “This celebration is an acknowledgement of what can happen when we nurture curiosity, resilience, and compassion. Every learner recognised here today has grown not just academically, but in spirit-and that is the success we’re proud of.”
The recognised learners represent the culmination of rigorous engagement with the IBDPs comprehensive curriculum, including its core elements of Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). These experiences have shaped not only their academic capabilities but also their critical thinking skills and global perspectives, preparing them for meaningful contributions to society.
“The last two years at Knowledgeum Academy have been transformative for our daughter. The school’s thoughtful environment and individual attention helped her not just perform well, but truly understand who she is and what she stands for. The support from the educators, the structure of the IBDP, and the consistent guidance allowed her to grow into an empathetic, confident, and capable learner,” expressed one of the achiever’s parent.
Throughout the ceremony, educators shared heartfelt tributes highlighting the learners’ strengths, commitment to the IB values, and the balance they maintained between academic rigour and self-reflection.
The celebration reflects Knowledgeum Academy’s ongoing effort to honour academic achievement while supporting the overall development of each learner.
