This year, four Surinamese graduating students from the AlphaMax Academy, have raised [the Academy’s and] Suriname’s bar of achievement and excellence in international collegiate entrance examinations to a new height. The students, Vincent Hilversum, Zikomo Mhango, Marina Sew Atjon, and Stephan Playfair, received scores of 31, 30, 29, and 29, respectively on the international American College Test (ACT) examination during the current academic year.
“The Class of 2010 is to date the best performing class of Academy scholars on the American College Test since we began taking this international university-entrance examination almost a decade ago,” said Academy Administrator Hortence M. Taylor-Claver, C.P.A..
“These scores on the ACT place our graduating students in the top 5% worldwide,” said Ir. Emiel A. Krak, Deputy Director of the AlphaMax Academy. “This recent achievement positions our school in a coveted position, not only in Suriname, but in the Caribbean region, especially as we prepare to embark on a new decade of education for Surinamese young people within a wider international and global context.”
During their senior year of study at the Academy, all four Academy scholars completed their VWO-level course of study in addition to the Global Assessment Certificate program – a special first-year university program from ACT Education Solutions. The GAC program is moderated from Australia and upon completion students have access to over 150 universities worldwide.
Whereas Zikomo Mhango, with the second top ACT score, produced the best overall high school academic performance for the class of 12 graduates, Marina Sew-Atjon, a top ACT scorer, had the best results in this year’s GAC international course of study. The two students will co-deliver the Valedictorian Address at the Academy’s graduation ceremonies on Thursday evening, June 24th. The two valedictorians have both been selected to represent Suriname this summer at the 2010 Global Youth Leaders’ Conference in the U.S.A..
In April this year, the AlphaMax Academy acquired new facilities in Zorg-en-hoop and renovation and construction work will begin shortly to establish for Surinamese students a state of the art educational facility – complete with gymnasium.
Vincent Hilversum’s top ACT score of 31 this year matches the scores of two graduates from the Academy, Vijoya D. Taylor (Valedictorian, Class of 2009), and Rachel A. Chee-A-Tow (Class of 2005).
