ECO School

What is an ECO School?
An ECO School is a special program that promotes environmentally friendly practices, embraces sustainability principles, and aims to instill environmental awareness in students. These schools develop and implement various strategies to reduce environmental impacts in both educational and administrative processes.

The Importance of Being an ECO School
Becoming an ECO School is important for raising awareness of environmental responsibility and equipping students with leadership skills in sustainability. The primary goal of being an ECO School is to teach students to respect nature, use resources efficiently, and make eco-friendly behaviors a part of their daily lives.

At Gokkusagi Schools, the experimental laboratory works in Chemistry and Biology courses and the reports I prepared for the internal assessment components of the IB have been very useful in my practical studies in my department at the university.

In my first year of university, I found that the topics covered in the Mathematics and Science courses were ones I had already studied in the Cambridge A Levels program while in high school. I would definitely recommend the A Levels program to those who want to study at a university in the UK.

The Cambridge A Levels Mathematics and Physics courses I took at Gokkusagi Schools provided me with an easy start to the architecture department.

To be honest, I initially struggled with the IB because it was a new style of learning for me. We also had online classes during the IB. There’s a similar practice in university now. Thanks to the online skills I acquired in high school, I’m progressing very comfortably at university.

The Statistics course in the Cambridge A Level program boosted my grades at university. The multinational and multicultural classroom environment at Rainbow College made it easier for me to adapt to the Netherlands and university life.

While my friends at university complain about writing long essays, I realized that I had made significant progress in this area during my IB journey and that I could easily write essays at university too. I’m about to finish my third year, and during a job interview here, I noticed that the manager was very impressed with the CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) projects I did in high school.

During my IB Mathematics course, discovering the impact of technology on mathematics, the power of mathematics, and its role as a means of communication led me to choose the mathematics department at university. The IB CAS program, which aims to promote a balanced life, made me start loving sports and art.

The IB program was challenging, but definitely worth studying. It taught me how to make decisions, focus, and manage my time effectively. Learning to work under stress and access the right information quickly is now very useful to me at university. When I compare myself to other graduates, I see that my study and essay writing skills are much better. Because IB forced us out of our comfort zones, I feel that I have grown as an individual, developed, enhanced my life skills, and started to become a more confident person.

Receiving an education in the IB program that was far from the traditional high school teaching approach taught me skills development, stress management, and how to handle my workload. I learned to place myself within an academic discipline, acquired critical thinking, strong analysis, and advanced academic writing skills. My understanding of scientific knowledge and processes increased. The IB CAS process helped me to think reflectively, that is, to discover my own strengths and weaknesses.

The IB is more than just a program consisting of six subjects; it cultivates you into a person with a good character. The challenges in the IB facilitate quick adaptation to new systems. Your English improves tremendously, and your curiosity about science increases. I passed the English proficiency exam at ITU with an AA grade, allowing me to skip the preparatory class and start the first year directly.
