Outstanding results achieved by our IB Diploma students for the 2018/19 academic year

11 July 2019

Every Nord Anglia international school supports its students to 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 entire school community is proud to share our students at British International School, HCMC, achieved exceptional results in this year’s International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

For the 2018/19 academic school year, a record 78 students sat their IB Diploma at BIS HCMC, a large number of those students have been with us since kindergarten. Impressively, the average score from the 2019 graduating class was 35.5, which is 6 points higher than the IB global average of 29.6, widening the gap between the school and other IB schools around the world. This result also showcases the difference that Nord Anglia Education schools bring to students’ academic results.

“I am thrilled to recognise the outstanding IBDP results that the ‘Class of 2019’ has achieved. BIS HCMC is a school that achieves an enviable and consistent level of success in this challenging programme. I would like to recognise the hard work and dedication of our students, along with the support given to them by our excellent staff. There is no doubt that our parents will be very proud and deservedly so, as they have played such a pivotal role in their child’s success. BIS HCMC continues to show itself as an exceptional international school and it is all down to the wonderful people that make up our vibrant community.” Anthony Rowlands, Principal of British International School, HCMC.

We are delighted to announce that 26% of students from our school 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.

“Year after year, I am so proud of our Nord Anglia students who — through their dedication — achieve results that exceed global averages for the IB Diploma,” said Andy Puttock, Group Education Director, Nord Anglia Education.

“This year’s results powerfully show how our students benefit from world-leading teachers who go beyond traditional education to inspire them toward success,” he said. “I’m proud of what our IB-offering schools have achieved this academic year and wish our graduating seniors a fantastic summer as they begin preparing for life after leaving their Nord Anglia school.”

IBDP, is a two-year education programme for students age 16-19. The programme is a widely accepted and recognised qualification for entry into higher education and universities worldwide.

All of us here at British International School, HCMC, would also like to congratulate our graduating seniors from the 2018/2019 academic year. These students have put in incredible hard work over the years and we can’t wait to see what they do in the future. #dontBIStrangers!
