Philippine Science High School Grads Get Admission Offers From Yale, Duke, And More

• Graduating from high school is an achievement in itself and getting accepted into college is another accomplishment that every parent should be proud of.

  But when your kid gets offered admission by a prestigious university abroad, you have more than every right to dance, jump and down, or scream, especially if you’re the mom and dad of these kids.

  Thanks to the Facebook posts of the Philippine Science High School, we now know some of its graduates are heading to prestigious universities abroad, including the so-called Ivy League schools in the United States.

  Nathan Wayne Ariston from the PSHS-Central Mindanao Campus received four (!) admission offers, including a full scholarship grant to Yale University in the United States. He was also admitted to two other U.S. universities, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California-Irvine.

   

  Nathan, the son farmer and an elementary school teacher, was also accepted in Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
