With 60% of our scoring higher than the global average, their access to the world’s very best universities is guaranteed and we are also proud that most of our students will attend their first-choice university.
Additionally, an incredible 60% of the cohort also received bilingual diplomas - an exceptional achievement!

I would like to thank the staff and parents who supported these young people to achieve their goals and go further than they dreamed possible.”
