BIS HCMC Graduates of 2024 achieve remarkable IBDP results outperforming all global averages

We are incredibly proud to announce that our class of 2024, with a cohort of 102 students all taking the IB Diploma, 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.  

With a truly impressive average point score of 36.1, our graduates achieved significantly higher than the global average of 30.3 points. In fact this reflects a point score difference of almost 6 points higher than the global average, once again continuing this trend at BIS HCMC. This truly reflects the high consistency in learning across all our subject areas and the high quality of teaching provision we are able to provide. 

Well over a quarter of our students (28.4%) achieved an outstanding 40 points or more, an astonishing achievement given the global average is well below 10%. This year, 1 of our students achieved a perfect score of 45, falling in the top 1% worldwide, and 16 students achieved high scores of 42-44 points.

This year 14.7% of our graduating students were awarded the IB Bilingual Diploma in English and Vietnamese, Korean or Spanish.  This is an increase from 13.1% in 2023 highlighting our true global community and the skills our students gain to become fluent in multiple languages. 

Behind these truly impressive results are 102 delightful students experiencing their own IBDP personalised and challenging pathways to success.  Through their subject choices, their extended essay topics their CAS projects, leadership opportunities and their desire to take on other incredible opportunities, they are now able to open doors to a whole world of possibilities for ongoing success.

Stephen Kay, Head of Secondary, shared how proud he was of this incredible group of students:

Our students can again be proud of the way that they have overcome challenges, in the resilience that they have shown and that they have demonstrated the knowledge, skills and understanding to achieve outstanding results”
