Personal Project
The Personal Project Exhibition was held on March 16, 2023, where the Class of 2025 students put their work on display after a year-long inquiry into their personal interests. This year we were very excited to be back in person for the first completely face-to-face Personal Project cycle since the pandemic.
The Exhibition was our biggest to date! All students got to showcase their work in innovative ways, including: live musical performances on stage, movie screenings in a cozy theater, a selection of snack and drink tastings, video game trials, and many other interactive booths. We would like to thank Khun Thida, IT, maintenance, and all the related departments for helping the students’ work to be shown authentically.
Each booth was personalized to the students’ interests and experience in the Personal Project, which boasted a vast array of products and topics. From Hug Machines to soccer cleats to sugar-free candy to building a PC, each student showed a clear passion and deep investment in their personal interest this year.
Throughout the process every year, students work with experts and teachers both in and outside of Concordian to make this a reality. Our team of supervisors were extremely dedicated to building learning partnerships with the students. We would like to thank all of this year’s supervisors as their support and expertise are extraordinarily valuable for students to develop as learners in this process.
As the first externally moderated IB task students submit before they head to the Diploma Program, this is a very important milestone for each student to achieve. We thank our excellent team of internal moderators who work diligently to mark the reports ahead of the IB deadline. We are eagerly waiting for the final IB marks, which will be released later this year, but we are confident that all of our students grew, learned, and developed new skills throughout this meaningful journey.
The students in the Class of 2026 have now started their own path in the Personal Project. The entire Concordian Personal Project team is looking forward to the new and inventive ways that students can explore their interests.
