Ryan has been part of the BISP community for six years. With acceptances to prestigious institutions such as The University of Hong Kong, Baylor University, the University of Oregon, and Rochester Institute of Technology, Ryan has chosen to matriculate to New York University Abu Dhabi, where he will pursue Business Economics on a 90% scholarship.

His passion for economics was sparked in the Senior School, particularly through the influence of Mr Pollock, whose teaching inspired Ryan to explore the subject more deeply. The academically rigorous environment at BISP, combined with supportive mentorship, played a significant role in shaping Ryan’s university choices and his future ambitions in business and global economics.

Ryan’s leadership journey at BISP has been both meaningful and transformative. From serving as Year 11 Head Student to acting as Colour Team Captain and engaging in impactful CAS projects, he has grown into a collaborative and well-organised leader. These roles equipped him with the skills and confidence needed to lead with intention and balance academic excellence with community engagement.

In addition to academic preparation, Ryan highlights the invaluable support of the university counselling team at BISP. Their open-door approach and personal guidance made a complex process feel manageable and student-centred.

Reflecting on his time at BISP, Ryan says he will miss the close-knit community the most. Events like Soccer 7’s, Sports Day and Baan Day were highlights, bringing the entire school together in spirited celebration. With his strong foundation, Ryan is ready to embrace the next chapter with ambition, kindness, and a deep appreciation for the community that helped him grow.
