Volusia Students Earn Prestigious Cambridge Awards

Eighty-five students from Volusia County Schools have received prestigious awards from Cambridge International Education, part of the University of Cambridge, to acknowledge their outstanding performance on the June 2023 Cambridge examinations. As a global organization with a 160-year history in education, Cambridge partners with schools, districts, and governments around the world with a shared goal of making education transformation a reality. In the US, Cambridge uniquely provides an instructional system across four stages (Primary through Advanced) aligning rigorous curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment for all students in grades K-12. The Cambridge Advanced program allows students to earn college-level credit in high school and prepares them with the skills they need to succeed in higher education – opening doors to a world of opportunities in the US and beyond. 

“Congratulations to every one of our outstanding students across Volusia County Schools,” said Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin. “Your prestigious awards from Cambridge International Education reflect not only individual brilliance but also the collective commitment to academic excellence within our schools. Your accomplishments make us proud, and we commend your dedication to achieving global standards of education.”
