Homeroom Advisor Comments

Chloe is a bright student, a leader amongst her peers, and exemplifies the IB spirit. She is never satisfied with only
doing well in school, and is constantly working to apply her knowledge gained in class to bigger pursuits in the spirit of
community, global mindedness, and exploration. Her work directing the school play showed mastery in attaining
balance between her outside interests and her studies, and her leadership in helping create the class service trip to
Cambodia shows the type of international awareness we aim to cultivate in Faria International School students. Well
done, Chloe!

Comments:
Chloe consistently shows a strong passion for literature, and always seeks to learn the additional context that frames a
work beyond the text itself. I am continually impressed by her eagerness in class and her ability to engage other
students in the works as we discuss them. Her contributions to group work are always readily apparent, and she is a
clear leader willing to spearhead group projects and ensure that work is completed thoroughly, all while holding herself
and her group members to standards of excellence. This was particularly evident in our end of term presentations.
Beyond developing skills of literary analysis, Chloe has also continued to progress in her vocabulary and writing
structure.

Chloe has done outstanding this term! I am very pleased with the amount of effort she has put into her presentations
and projects, and am extremely excited about her interest in traveling to Beijing for advanced study. She is consistently
prepared for class and turns in her assignments on time without question. Her extracurricular study of Chinese culture
outside of class is also admirable, and she continues to do well as the president of the Chinese Honor Society.
