About the transcript. Numeric grades and letter grades are taken from the FLVS unofficial transcript, the FLVS gradebook, and Falcon Cove Middle School report cards and gradebooks. Numeric grades shown here reflect averages across semesters for high-school credits earned in high school and averages across quarters for high-school credits earned in middle school. The original PDFs contain personal details (date of birth, student ID, home address) that are not appropriate for a public website, so the academic content is mirrored here in clean form. School counselors and admissions officers can request the full unofficial transcript by email.

Beyond the classroom

University-level work and pre-college programs

These are not part of the official school transcript. They sit alongside it.

Summer 2025 · pre-collegiate

Stanford CNI-X 2025 Youngest, rising freshman · Session 2

Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies · Clinical Neuroscience Immersion Experience

Two-week immersive program (July 21 – August 1, 2025) covering clinical neuroscience, design thinking via the Saggar lab method, large-language-models in behavioral health, and a team capstone project. The capstone, A.R.A.I.A., was presented to Stanford faculty and the cohort.

Reading from the program

Brain Facts: A Primer on the Brain and Nervous System (Society for Neuroscience). I’d had this open since 8th grade, and it became the baseline I kept coming back to during CNI-X. Each chapter is short and sourced; a lot of what later showed up in my HarvardX coursework I had already first met here. Read it free on brainfacts.org →
