“EAR has given me countless friendships, from students to teachers and the maintenance staff. This school has offered me a variety of opportunities to grow as a person and as a student. Experiences from events such as ISSLs, MUN and GIN conferences, and SGA meetings to our worker’s NHS English classes have made high school a sweeter experience. Through my experience, I can surely say the school has fulfilled its mission statement of developing critical thinkers and lifelong learners. While feeling fulfilled in completing high school, a part of me is sad that I’ll have to leave this community behind. Today I’m proud to say I’m a member of the Class of 2020 of the American School of Recife.”

“I studied at EAR for over 14 years. I have grown up in this school. Ever since the time I took my first step in this school, I have never stopped learning. Not only did I learn English and Math, but more importantly I learned how to be honorable, respectable, and resilient. The friends I’ve made in all these years are so many and so great. We laughed together, we played together, but we also struggled together, and yet we persisted and persevered together. Now, it is time for each one of us to follow his or her path. That’s all folks! We made it! We are the Class of 2020!”

“This is where I started, and this is where I will end. I have been in EAR since kindergarten. I will be forever grateful to the school and everyone involved. EAR was more than a school for me; EAR became a second family, a family that I will be forever grateful for. I am very happy to close this cycle with such special people by my side.
Goodbye, EAR, thank you for all the good memories. I will keep them all with great affection. Forever an eagle.”

“I have been in this school since 8th grade, and I am glad about all of the things that I learned during this time. The major things that I will bring with me weren’t just Science, Math, English, or Social studies lessons, but mainly the different subjects, discussions, and life teachings that I learned. Also studying at EAR opened my mind to many different life perspectives; each student and teacher are singularly unique and as the school is small you can notice how each one world is different. I could learn how to develop a scientific paper at AP Seminar to even programming at AP Computer Science; those learnings not only give you college credit but also will be part of my repertoire in my future career. “
