The National Merit Scholarship Program is a highly respected academic competition that recognizes and rewards high school students for their exceptional scholastic achievements. At Silicon Valley International School (INTL), we are incredibly proud to celebrate our students' outstanding performance in this rigorous program, highlighting their dedication, hard work, and intellectual prowess.
This year, INTL once again demonstrated its commitment to academic excellence through the success of several of our remarkable students. We extend our warmest congratulations to Cassia G. and Pierre G., who were recognized as Commended Students. This distinction placed them among the top 50,000 high scorers nationwide out of the 1.5 million students who take the PSAT annually.
Furthermore, we are thrilled to announce that Nicolas L. achieved the prestigious status of National Merit Finalist! This exceptional accomplishment placed him among the top 0.5% of all PSAT test-takers, a remarkable feat. Nicolas initially distinguished himself as a National Merit Semi-Finalist, ranking among the top 15,000 high scorers.
The success of Nicolas, Cassia, and Pierre in the National Merit Scholarship Program reflects not only their individual brilliance but also the academically rigorous environment at INTL. Their achievements serve as an inspiration to the entire INTL community, demonstrating the power of dedication, intellectual curiosity, and positive struggle. Please join us in congratulating these exceptional students on their well-deserved recognition!
