For the 2021/22 academic school year, we had our biggest cohort to date of 122 graduating students. All of our students achieved an incredible pass rate of 100% gaining the full IBDP. A remarkable five students achieved a perfect score of 45. The average IBDP score amongst our students was an outstanding 38 out of 45 points, well above the IB global average of 32 points. Our community was particularly thrilled with 42.6% of our students achieving a point score of 40 or more out of 45, compared to the 7% world average for 2022.
I am absolutely delighted with the outstanding results that this cohort of students have achieved. They have faced the most testing of times over the last two years. Not only have they been undertaking the very challenging IBDP, but they have had to navigate this process under the shadow of a global pandemic. These impressive young people have shown immense resilience and have been deservedly rewarded with these outstanding outcomes. Throughout this process they have been closely supported by their families and the dedicated staff that we have at BIS HCMC. My sincere congratulations to all concerned. - Anthony Rowlands, Principal, BIS HCMC.
Our 2022 IBDP results showcase a number of impressive statistics, both on an individual level and collectively:
This average IBDP point score of 38 points for the BIS HCMC Class of 2022 is truly impressive, reflecting the consistency in quality across all disciplines and is significantly above the world and regional averages. With student results across the IB Core hitting a BIS record best, the BIS HCMC class of 2022 demonstrated true depth in critical thinking, research, and academic writing in preparation for their undergraduate studies.
Behind these truly impressive results are 122 personal achievements, with each student experiencing their own personal journey to success. These results are the culmination of not only the last two years of the IB Diploma Programme but rather mark an important milestone as BIS HCMC young people complete their school careers and take their first steps at the world’s best universities.
The BIS HCMC Class of 2022 shared a very special Graduation ceremony at the Park Hyatt Saigon on Saturday 19th May 2022 with certificates and awards presented by the British Consulate General for Vietnam.
Congratulations to all of you today with a fantastic set of results ready for the next step in the wider world, or in Vietnam. After an incredibly challenging 2 years in which to have been working towards your IBDP, I hope you take a moment to celebrate with friends and family and recognise your outstanding achievement. - Oliver Todd, British Consulate-General for Vietnam
The IB Diploma Programme is an internationally recognised qualification for admission into higher education. This intensive programme not only provides the academic knowledge and skills required for further education but offers our students the opportunity for personal growth to become responsible members of their communities.
“Independent research confirms that the IB improves students’ academic achievement, as well as their probability of high school graduation and college enrolment, and it is clear that our students are better prepared to succeed in post-secondary settings”. Dr Siva Kumari, IB Director General.
Each student undertaking the full IB diploma studies 6 individual subjects with a maximum of 7 points awarded in each, as well as 3 core requirements. A full IB Diploma is awarded for those students who achieve 24 points or more up to a maximum of 45 points.
Our students, teachers and parents working together alongside an internationally respected curriculum in first-class facilities ensures that at BIS HCMC we continue to offer educational opportunities that are unrivalled by other IB schools across the globe.
We are incredibly proud to announce that our class of 2024, with a cohort of just over 102 students, have achieved outstanding IBDP results, significantly outperforming all IBDP Global averages. Once again, the hard work, commitment, skills, and attitude of our students has been recognised with stunning academic results that place them among the very best worldwide. These results now provide our students with an astounding choice of some of the top universities worldwide.
Every year BIS HCMC takes students from across several year groups, in Primary and Secondary to the FOBISIA Friendly Games, held near Pattaya in Thailand. This provides our young athletes with the opportunity to compete at a high level against other British International Schools across Asia in athletics, basketball, football, swimming and T-ball as well as form global friendships with their peers throughout the region.
Last month we were proud to have three student ambassadors attend this year’s NAE-UNICEF Student Summit, hosted for the first time ever in Houston, Texas from 12 to 19 June 2024. The event was hosted at Nord Anglia’s two schools in the city: The Village School and the British International School of Houston. Houston was chosen as the ideal location for the Summit thanks to being the first officially recognised “Child-Friendly City” in the United States of America.
