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

Our entire school community is proud to share our students at The British International School of Houston achieved exceptional results in this year’s International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

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.

For the 2018/19 academic school year, BISH achieved an average score of 34.3 this year. The average score was 15% higher than the IB global average of 29.78 points, widening the gap between the school and other IB schools around the world. We also had a 100% pass rate with our IBCP programme. These results showcase the difference that Nord Anglia Education schools bring to students’ academic results.

“We’re very proud of our fantastic students who have again achieved outstanding IB results. Our Class of 2019 will now continue their educational journey at some of the world’s leading universities. Please join me in congratulating our students for their tremendous achievements. A bright and rewarding future awaits these fabulous young people.” Mark Wilson, Principal of The British International School of Houston.

We are delighted to announce that one student from our school received full marks — the maximum score of 45 points. This is an incredible achievement for this student as only 0.4% of students worldwide received full marks this year on the IBDP.
Additionally 2 of our students achieved impressive scores of 43 points.
19% of our students 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.
Two thirds of our students achieved a score higher than the IB global average.
