La Côte International School (LCIS) is delighted to announce that 2016 graduate Alex Constantinou has been offered a place at Cambridge University. This is the first Oxbridge admission for LCIS, which saw its first cohort of International Baccalaureate students graduate in 2015.

Congratulations to 2016 DP graduate Alex Constantinou, who has been offered a place at Cambridge University, one of the most prestigious educational establishments worldwide, and ranked globally amongst the world's top four best universities year after year.

He will be joining Clare College, the second oldest of Cambridge's thirty-one colleges, founded in 1326 and perfectly located at the heart of the highly regarded British university town.

Wendy Ellis, Principal at La Côte International School, shared her delight with the entire school community: "We were very pleased with the news that Alexander Constantinou, who deferred his university entry by a year as he was too young, has been offered a place at Clare College, Cambridge to read Mathematics and Physics for this September."

His maths teacher Chris Jarrett was also very glad to receive the news from Alex himself: "Congratulations to Alex Constantinou who has been accepted into Cambridge University to read Mathematics with Physics.

"Alex graduated from LCIS in 2016 with a fantastic IB score of 43 points. He was a pleasure to teach in his time here at La Côte International School, his passion for learning shining through in all that he did here whether this be his calligraphy work in Art or the Maths and Physics, which he loves so much.

"I am sure that Alex will make a great success of his studies as he moves forward and we all look forward to hearing news of his future successes."
