As a world-leading international qualification certification institution, Pearson Education recognizes and celebrates schools that have made remarkable academic achievements every year. The criteria for awarding the "Outstanding Pearson School Award" are particularly strict—it is exclusively awarded to "schools whose students have received the ‘Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards’ for their exceptional performance in the 2024/2025 examination series". This means that Shenzhen Merchiston’s winning of this award is not only a testament to the school’s teaching strength, but also stems from the top-tier academic performance of its students in the 2024/2025 Pearson Edexcel examinations. Behind every honor lies the vivid practice of Merchiston’s "student-centric" educational philosophy.

According to the official notice from Pearson Education, the 2025 Outstanding Pearson School Award Ceremony will be held in Chengdu on November 20, 2025. The school will be invited to send representatives to attend this grand event, witnessing the honorary moment together with outstanding institutions worldwide. This ceremony is not only a summary of Merchiston’s past academic achievements, but also will become a new starting point for the school to continue deepening international education and empowering students’ growth in the future.

"Congratulations to your school and all faculty members for your hard work and unremitting dedication in supporting students’ growth in 2025!" Jacky Gao (Gao Jianjun), Director of Pearson Edexcel Examination Board, Greater China Region, stated in the confirmation letter. Behind this honor is the perseverance of all Merchiston faculty in upholding teaching quality—from the precise development of curriculum systems, to personalized support for academic guidance, and to attention to the growth needs of every student. Merchiston has always used professionalism and enthusiasm to build a bridge for students to step onto the global top stage.

Winning the 2025 Outstanding Pearson School Award marks another important milestone in the achievements of Shenzhen Merchiston’s international education. In the future, the school will continue to take Pearson Education’s recognition as motivation, continuously optimize teaching resources, deepen international education cooperation, and help more Merchiston students shine on the global academic stage, writing their own wonderful growth stories.
