GANGTOK, 25 Jan: Principal of the Taktse International School, Phuntsok Lauenstein, has announced that the school received the tenth grade 2011 Cambridge International Board Exam results yesterday and that all its eight students have performed well.
A press release informs that one student, Nicha Kamnerdmanee, scored two ‘A’s, the highest possible score that a student can achieve on the Cambridge International Exam. Her high IGCSE (Cambridge) scores will earn her a seat at University in Thailand, directly from class ten, without having to attend classes eleven and twelve.
Tenzing Choeden Namgyal also produced excellent results, scoring ‘A’ s in three subjects. Simrin Tamhane and Kushan Battacharya obtained ‘A’ s in two subjects and Shagun Limboo scored an’A’ in one. The IGCSE exams are recognized and highly respected by Universities throughout India as well as abroad, the release mentions.
Taktse is adding an eleventh grade this year (2012).  In February, four students will continue their studies in class eleven at Taktse, beginning the  two-year syllabus that culminates in the A-levels (class twelve board exams) in 2013, the release informs.
The Taktse Board and Principal have congratulated all eight students for their hard work and excellent scores. The Taktse Board, the release adds, “is pleased that Taktse’s emphasis on reading, high expectations, and intensive teacher training is producing results”.
