BIS Hanoi’s academic record breakers celebrate IGCSE success

BIS Hanoi’s academic record breakers celebrate IGCSE success Tuesday night was a joyous occasion for our Year 12 students at BIS Hanoi. In the middle of the first term of studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, BIS Hanoi students, with their families, paused for breath, posed for a photograph and reflected on their academic achievements over the last two years.

Tuesday night was a joyous occasion for our Year 12 students at BIS Hanoi. In the middle of the first term of studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, BIS Hanoi students, with their families, paused for breath, posed for a photograph and reflected on their academic achievements over the last two years.

And those achievements were extraordinary! Just consider Phuong Anh Le, for example. Phuong Anh attained the highest mathematics result in the world in 2019, when she presented for her IGCSE Mathematics, whilst only a Year 10 student. Since then, she has continued to excel. This summer Cambridge International rewarded her efforts and all-round academic brilliance with a further nine IGCSE subject grades, all at A* level.

But it wasn’t just Phuong Anh who excelled. The depth of talent at BIS Hanoi and their summer achievements provide compelling evidence that the British International School Hanoi provides an outstanding academic environment for students. This year, BIS Hanoi students passed their prestigious IGCSE Cambridge exams in record numbers. This is the 4^th year in a row that BIS Hanoi’s pass rate has risen. Furthermore, students achieved a record number of exceptional grades with 52% of all entries being awarded either an A* or A grade.

We are delighted for Phuong Anh and her friends. We are excited to be teaching them again, as we guide them through the IBDP.  No doubt more amazing achievements will be celebrated in the future.
