At a well-attended talk, Mr Light talked to pupils and parents from across both KES and KEHS about the admissions process for Yale and the US-university experience more generally. This was a follow-up to highly successful talks last year from Duke, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt and Georgetown.
Both schools are excited to be developing links with US universities, with this post-school route becoming increasingly popular as an option for boys and girls. Currently, alum from KES and KEHS are at Yale, Princeton, Michigan, UChicago, Purdue and the University of California. Under the expert guidance of US-universities counsellor, Evelyn Gilbert Bair, pupils have been successful in attracting millions of dollars of scholarships in recent years, a trend we hope will continue to grow.
The Independent Schools have a vital role to play in the city by attracting and hosting exciting events such as these. We are looking forward to increasing collaboration across the city to broaden the horizons and ambitions of pupils across Birmingham.
