BSB Shunyi enjoy outstanding 2018 IB Diploma results

The British School of Beijing (BSB), Shunyi students have once again achieved strong results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for the 2017/18 academic school year. BSB's average score this year is 34 points, significantly higher than the IB global average, widening the gap between ourselves and other IB schools around the world. 

Richard Thornhill, Principal of BSB Shunyi said "I wish to congratulate all our Year 13 students on an outstanding set of IBDP results. 2018 has been a special year, the highlight of which was the perfect score of 45 achieved by one of our students. This is a rare achievement across the world, in 2017 only 218 students out of well over 150,000 entrants achieved this perfect score.

With an average points score of 34 placing our students well above the global average of just over 29, it has been indeed a special year! Our students are now well placed to claim their rightful places at the top universities in the world. I would like to say well done to them and at the same time acknowledge the skill and hard work of all the staff at BSB who have made this possible.”  

• Our students' average score in the IB Diploma was 34, significantly ahead of the 2017/18 global average of 29.78 points.
• 16% of our students achieved 40 points and above.  This is the level of attainment required to gain admission to the world's elite universities, such Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Stanford.
• We are delighted to announce that one of our students from our school received full marks — the maximum score of 45 points. This is an incredible achievement for these students as only 1 in 1,000 students worldwide received full marks last year on the IBDP. Click here to read about Sunny.
