"The IB is an incredibly challenging programme that is respected and recognized world over and all of our students have worked hard over the past 2 years to get to this point.These results are a testament to the passion and dedication of our students and the commitment and support of our incredible faculty," Andrew Derry, Principal of the British International School of Houston said.

Our students' average score in the IB Diploma was 34, significantly ahead of the 2016 global average of 30 points. 9% 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 as Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Stanford.

Siva Kumari, the IB Director General commented on this year's global results by saying, "I'd like to congratulate all the students who are receiving their results, a fitting return for all the hard work and commitment they've shown in completing their learning" adding that IB alumni across the world are a "group well-equipped to contribute productively and thoughtfully in any part of the world".

We would like to commend our teachers for another outstanding year. Your commitment to our students and school is what drives these exceptional academic results. On behalf of the parents and school, we would like to applaud you for always challenging our students to achieve more than what they could have thought possible.
