IB Diploma Programme and Beyond: A Story of Growth and Achievement
For Robert Sevcik, Class of 2024, the IB Diploma Programme (DP) at ISP wasn’t just an academic challenge - it was a transformative experience that shaped his growth as a student, leader, and individual.
One of Robert's proudest moments was receiving the Griffin Award at graduation, which recognised his commitment to academics and extracurricular activities. In addition to this award, another significant achievement was receiving a remarkable 45 points in the IB Diploma Programme. In addition to dedicating time and effort to his studies, Robert believes this score was due to his practice of helping others grasp the material.
“I made it a priority to ensure everyone had the same access to resources, sharing my notes with peers and always being available to answer questions. Doing this also reinforced my own understanding of the content.”
Robert’s journey was also shaped by the support he received from his teachers. While he appreciates all of his teachers’ contributions, one stood out in particular: Mr. Rops, his mathematics teacher.
“Mr. Rops completely changed my view of math. He helped me become more knowledgeable by helping me see the world of math from different perspectives. He became my role model, teaching me valuable lessons in organisation, compassion, and candour.”
Outside the classroom, Robert’s leadership role in ISP’s Model United Nations (MUN) club played a key part in his personal development. Serving as General Secretary of the club for three years, Robert honed his leadership and collaboration skills while working to amplify his team’s strengths. The debates and discussions that took place in MUN also helped Robert strengthen his skills as a confident communicator.
