Another Year of Outstanding IB Diploma Success

ICS 2026 IB Results

At International College Spain, we are incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of our Class of 2026, whose International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) results reflect not only academic excellence, but also the resilience, determination and personal growth they have demonstrated throughout their time at ICS.

This year’s graduates achieved an average IB Diploma score of 34 points, significantly above the global average. These results represent an exceptional achievement for a cohort who consistently rose to challenges, adapted to new circumstances and remained committed to continuous improvement throughout their Diploma journey.

The results also contribute to an outstanding three year rolling average Diploma score of 35.3 points, demonstrating the sustained strength and consistency of teaching and learning at International College Spain.

Opening doors to leading universities worldwide

The achievements of the Class of 2026 have enabled our graduates to secure places at prestigious universities across the world, including Imperial College London, University College London (UCL), King’s College London, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, New York University (NYU) and Boston College, alongside many other leading institutions across the UK, Spain, Europe and North America.

From medicine, engineering and business to law, psychology, economics, the arts and sciences, our graduates are embarking on university journeys that reflect their individual interests, talents and ambitions.

At ICS, we believe that success is about more than achieving strong examination results. Our IB programme encourages students to become independent thinkers, confident communicators and lifelong learners, preparing them to thrive not only at university, but also in the wider world.

A community behind every achievement

Sean O’Neill, Principal of International College Spain, said: “Our mission extends beyond examination results. We aim to develop confident, compassionate young people who are ready to thrive at university and beyond. We are delighted that these achievements have opened doors to universities of their choice around the world, allowing our graduates to pursue courses and careers that inspire them. We wish every member of the Class of 2026 every success as they begin this exciting new chapter." 

The success of our students is made possible by a whole school community. We would like to congratulate every member of the Class of 2026 and thank our exceptional teachers, support staff and families for the encouragement, expertise and commitment they have provided throughout their IB journey.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are incredibly proud of you and look forward to seeing where your next chapter takes you.
