The Cambridge Assessment International Education recently recognized 45 Estero High School students for outstanding performance in the 2017 Cambridge examination series.

Every AICE/Cambridge exam that a student passes gives the student 3-4 college credits, the village's recap said.
In addition, most of these students have earned or will have earned an AICE/Cambridge Diploma, which guarantees them the highest level Bright Futures Award given by the State of Florida. This gives them full tuition and a $300 stipend for books.

Cambridge Assessment International Education prepares school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning, its website says.
"The Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational success from age 5 to 19. Schools can shape the curriculum around how they want students to learn – with a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them. It helps students discover new abilities and a wider world, and gives them the skills they need for life, so they can achieve at school, university and work."
