The Principal of the UWC Atlantic College in south Wales writes in The Daily Telegraph newspaper on Monday 14th July 2014 comparing such achievement with students taking the A level award: “The academic standard required from IB students is highlighted by the fact that while 45 is the top mark in the IB, a score of 36 will get you into medical schools which require A*s at A-level.The IB has achieved a 45 year legacy of success. The sustained year-on-year achievements of over 1 million students studying in over 3,600 schools worldwide cannot be ignored.” Certainly, students studying the IB Diploma at The British International School Bratislava cannot be ignored as they move on to top universities worldwide proud to carry these badges of achievement.
