Our 2021 IBDP results showcase a number of impressive statistics for this cohort, both on an individual level and collectively:

• 35% of NAISR IBDP students achieved 40 points or more, a result achieved by just 9% of IBDP graduates worldwide this year. This is the level of attainment required to gain admission to the world's elite universities, such as Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Stanford.

• Our top points scorer achieved an incredible 43 points, an all-time joint record for NAISR. After attending NAISR for 6 years, this student will now be heading to Erasmus University School of Management to study International Business Management.

• 60% of our students obtained a bilingual diploma, giving them a significant advantage when choosing universities and entering employment.

• 100% pass rate, compared to the world average of 89% in 2021.

Our students achieve more than they may have thought possible. We believe there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically. This year, our students’ academic results reflect our shared commitment to excellence in this area.

“Our outstanding IB results are a testament to the resilience, hard work and determination of this group of amazing young people.” Niki Meehan, Principal of NAISR said. “Not only have they had to contend with the rigour of the IBDP, they have done so while also navigating the challenges of a global pandemic. We are proud of each one of them and congratulate them on their achievements. These are bold young people with bright futures ahead and we look forward to hearing about what they will do next.”

All of us here at NAISR would also like to congratulate our graduating seniors. These students have put in incredible hard work over the years and we can’t wait to see what they do in the future. With 60% of our IBDP graduates achieving a prestigious IB Bilingual Diploma, their possibilities are endless.

A huge congratulations to all our graduates and IBDP achievers for a job well done!
