Students studying the IGCSE and A Level have broken a new record at BVIS Hanoi in 2024, and once again performed significantly above the global average.
As well as achieving an outstanding pass rate at 99.3%, for A Level programme, 38% of the students took the exam have achieved grades at A*-A. This was the highest in BVIS Hanoi history, exceeding the UK average of 27.9%. This year, our IGCSE students had also achieved so many high grades, maintaining a good results in 3 consecutive years. 35% of IGCSE students achieved grades at A-A*, exceeding the UK average of 22.6%.
Many BVIS Hanoi students will continue their academic studies at the world’s best universities, including Columbia University, UCL, King’s College, University of Melbourne.
Not just only the academic achievements that make our students outstanding among of all candidates, the Vietnamese perspective they have learned and developed throughout years of studying at BVIS Hanoi has impressed the Admissions of those prestigious universities. “Studying at BVIS Hanoi is an opportunity for me to connect with my Vietnamese heritage while learning about the international culture. In my personal statement that I sent to Columbia University’s admissions office, I showed myself as a young person who was interested in helping my community and connecting with my heritage through leadership, gained from the time being the Head Student, participating in school activities led by the Vietnamese Department, Community Service-Learning student-led projects, as well as my interest in bringing Vietnamese culture to the world. I think it has impressed the Admissions Office and differentiated me from other candidates”, Phu Minh, Class of 2024, who was accepted to Columbia University, one of the prestigious Ivy League universities in the USA.
Mr Piers Roderick, Assistant Head of Secondary said “Congratulations to all our students on their fantastic A Level and IGCSE results. We are extremely proud to have supported all our students through their educational journey here at BVIS Hanoi. Students, their teachers, and the whole school community have worked incredibly hard to achieve these excellent results. Not only have they achieved academic success that will propel them to some of the best universities, but they have also done so whilst contributing in so many ways to the life of the school and to supporting the local community. Well done and we look forward to hearing of our students’ great achievements in the years ahead.”
Mr Paul Holyome, Principal, expressed his pride on the students' outstanding achievements. Their relentless efforts and strong collaboration with teachers have helped them achieve high scores. “It has been a record breaking year at BVIS for our A level students with some of the highest scores since the school opened. Our Year 13 students have excelled and are on course to secure many great offers from some of the top universities in the world. A phenomenal achievement and we are proud of every student. Congratulations to all our Year 13 students.
For IGCSE students, I was also not surprised to see many students individually achieving a full range of top grades in their portfolio of subjects. To achieve so many high grades is quite an achievement, and we are looking forward to seeing the students embark on their A level studies here at BVIS. Congratulations!”
