David Chen former AMA Student doing well in China


David Chen, an outstanding student from Suriname, graduated from the AlphaMax Academy in 2009.   He entered the AlphaMax in September 2008 and before that he gave piano lessons to the younger children at the school.  David also completed the Global Assessment Certificate (GAC) in 2008.  Between 2009 and 2010, after creating a business plan in the GAC course for a music school, he opened his school, Sentient Arts and had an entire music recital for his students in ICC.  
Towards the end of 2010, David received an opportunity to go to Tianjin University in China.  During the two years that he has been in China he has had several achievements.  In fact, recently, he sent one of his old teachers, Milton Drepaul an email of his achievements since he was in China.  Here are a few of David Chen’s accomplishments: 
  • ·       Distinguished International Student Award on the 26th of April, 2011
  • ·       Winning  third place in the annual Chinese Speaking Competition on June 14th, 2011 (This competition is held to give the students an opportunity to show what they have learned and to show the teachers how much progress they made when it comes to speaking Chinese orally).
  • ·       Passing the HanyuShuipingKaoshi (HSK) Test on April 9th with a total score of 245%, which was the second highest score in his class (the highest achievement is 300%)
  • ·       Successfully completing his study of the Chinese language at the Tianjin Daxue on the 12th of June. 

Thanks to his family and friends, business partners who supported him, Chinese friends, and people at BOS, David is now successfully completing university as a high-achieving student.
