BISW Students Shine Again in IB Diploma Results
The IB Diploma is the premier international high school program for preparing students for success in higher education and is currently being studied in 136 countries by 1,493,820 IB graduates. A rigorous, highly competitive and in most schools selected entry, the IBDP has become the “must have” international qualification for high school students.
Congratulations to all the students who took the IB diploma this year at British International school of Washington! This was the eleventh graduating class and as an inclusive school with the core goal of celebrating personal and academic progress, we are justifiably proud of our growing tradition of excellence at IB and of the remarkable progress our students make.
We would like to congratulate our IB Diploma students on their outstanding results this year.
