Academic honours & awards

Celebrating academic excellence and inspiring future achievers.

The academic honor system applies to students in grades 7-12. Students who fulfill the honor roll criteria are presented with academic awards during the award ceremony held the following year in the school. One of our AMSI alumni presents the awards and addresses the students in hopes of inspiring them so that they, too, can make a difference in future students’ lives.

This process has two facets: academic and non-academic. Students who show exemplary achievements in all fields are recognised and awarded at different times during and throughout the academic year.

During the ceremony, we also honour a select group of high achieving students who have gone that extra mile to be extraordinary, with partial scholarships and honors.
We use the following award recognition scheme to recognise the achievements of students:

AA: Final annual average
H: Honor
HH: High honor
HRH: Higher honor
HSH: Highest honor

Students may inquire with the respective Head of Section for any questions concerning the academic awards.
