Henry給學校的一封信❤️
Ivy Collegiate Academy, ICA在我的學習旅程中扮演了非常重要的角色,提供了挑戰、協助以及完美的學習環境,讓我在國三到高三的高中生活中突破極限。
ICA 嚴謹的訓練與指導,不僅奠定了我的學術基礎,也培養了我面對困難時具備討戰的韌性與自信,使我能夠不斷精進.

感謝ICA 優越的學術環境,我以 3.5 年的時間完成了密西根州立大學 (Michigan State University) 的生物化學與分子生物學 (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) 雙學位。大學時期,我還擔任化學與數學的助教,並進行了為期兩年的蛋白質結晶研究。
除了學術上的成就,ICA 也為我提供了課堂之外的成長機會。我曾參與 打擊樂、羽毛球、合唱團和 游泳等社團,這些經歷幫助我培養了團隊合作精神、紀律以及毅力。
高中期間我修讀 AP 微積分 AB 和 BC、AP 物理 1、AP 音樂、AP 研討、AP 中文以及 AP 化學,不僅讓我獲得了挑戰自己的機會,還幫助我取得了大學學分,使我能夠更靈活地選修其他課程並加速畢業。
近期,我很榮幸申請進入加州大學柏克萊分校 (UC Berkeley) 的傳染病與疫苗學碩士 (Master’s Program in Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology) 。
這一切都離不開 ICA 嚴格的學術訓練、支持我的老師,以及那些促使我不斷成長的挑戰。這所學校塑造了今天的我,我將永遠以 ICA 為傲,並繼續傳承它的精神。

A letter to ICA ❤️
Ivy Collegiate Academy (ICA) played a crucial role in shaping my academic journey, providing me with the challenges, support, and perfect learning environment to push my limits and achieve success in my high school life with 4 years. The rigorous training and mentorship at ICA not only built my academic foundation but also instilled in me the resilience and confidence to excel.

Thanks to ICA’s strong academic environment, I completed my Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major at Michigan State University in just 3.5 years while working as a teaching assistant in chemistry and mathematics and conducting protein crystallization research for two years. Beyond academics, ICA also gave me opportunities to grow outside the classroom. I participated in percussion, badminton, choir, and swimming, which helped me develop teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.

Taking AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Physics 1, AP Music, AP Seminar, AP Chinese, and AP Chemistry not only challenged me but also allowed me to earn college credits, giving me the flexibility to take additional courses and graduate faster. Recently, I was honored to be accepted into UC Berkeley’s Master’s Program in Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology.
None of this would have been possible without ICA’s rigorous academics, supportive teachers, ❤️and the challenges that pushed me to grow. This school shaped who I am today, and I will always be proud to carry its legacy forward.
