TASIS Dorado Celebrates Student Who Earned a Rare "Perfect" Score on an Advanced Placement Exam

The TASIS School in Dorado celebrates upper school student CORDELIA LOOMIS '24 for earning a perfect score on a college-level Advanced Placement® (AP") Exam in spring 2022.

Cordelia was one of only 357 students worldwide to earn every point possible on the AP Research Exam.
Upper School Director Sara Hernández praises, "Cordelia has achieved an extraordinary feat! Her accomplishments demonstrate her scholarly prowess and dedication, reflecting TASIS Dorado's values. We are immensely proud of her accomplishment and look forward to continued academic success."

"AP courses and exams are college-level, requiring great focus and persistence among participating students," said Trevor Packer, head of the Advanced Placement Program. "We applaud the educators who encourage students to challenge themselves, who motivate and encourage diverse students to achieve their academic potential."

The Advanced Placement Program is committed to ensuring students have access to the opportunities they have earned. Students who succeed in AP are not only more likely to succeed in college but also have the chance to save a significant amount of time and money by earning college credit or placement. Colleges and universities around the world receive AP scores for college credit, advanced placement, and/or consideration in the admission process.

Wellness & Athletics Center Grand Opening


Wednesday, Sep 13, marked the much-anticipated Grand Opening of the Wellness & Athletics Center, and the moment was one for the TASIS Dorado history books! Students, teachers, staff, parents, and friends entered the WAC for the first time, only to be met with complete awe and amazement! The energy was palpable, the emotions were high, and the school spirit was infectious.

The ceremony started with remarks from Federico Stubbe, Jr., President of the Board of Directors, Deborah Monroe, Head of School, and Betzy García, Chair of Institutional Advancement.

Federico highlighted the years of blood, sweat, and tears that made this dream a reality, thanked the original visionaries of our school, Friedel Stubbe, Fernando González, and Maritere Matosantos, and shared who it's all for, "We did this for you, our dear students, who bring TASIS to life every day."

Afterward, Deborah gave shoutouts to both the Athletics & Counseling Departments, including the announcement of Suzette "Pochy" Melendez as the Wellness Director and Samuel Pino as the Athletics Director. Betzy closed the program with gracious thanks to the donors, Leadership Committee, and Advancement Team.

Literal sparks burst through the air as the entire Board of Directors gathered for the ceremonial ribbon cutting to commemorate the occasion. School spirit raced through the entire room as student leaders Edo Cortés and Charlie García led the audience in a school cheer. "Let's Go, BEARS, Let's Go!", the sounds of cowbells, and batucada drums rang through the entire building! Elementary and Secondary teachers and staff then closed the program with a surprise flash mob choreographed by drama teacher Edwin Colón and kinder teacher Michelle Latour.

After the ceremony, parents and students toured the incredible facility while many students flocked to the new spirit gear store, fondly named BEAR CAVE, to check out the new TASIS gear they plan to sport soon!

Thank you to the incredible teams at PRISA Group and TASIS Dorado, our donors, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends who made today possible! The pictures and videos say it all.
