100% IB Pass Rate

Well done to our graduating class of 2018 for their excellent International Baccalaureate diploma results!

For the 4th year running, LCIS diploma students have achieved an admirable 100% IB Diploma pass rate, an outstanding accomplishment compared to the world IB pass rate of 78.4%.

This year, La Côte International School IB Diploma graduates achieved an average score of 32.4, significantly above the 2018 global average of 29.8, widening the gap between ourselves and other IB schools around the world.

We are delighted to announce that our IB Diploma students have enjoyed outstanding results for the 2017/18 academic year. Our 4th cohort of IB Diploma students can be proud to have studied such an academically challenging and globally respected curriculum, and to have achieved the following:

• an average score of 32.4, 9% higher than the IB global average
• an impressive 100% pass rate, compared to the world IB pass rate of 78.4%
• a bilingual IB Diploma for 2 out of 5 LCIS students

Well done to the LCIS graduating class of 2018 and all the teachers who worked alongside them for the past two years, fostering their individual talents and passion for hands-on learning, whilst at the same time laying the foundations for a very supportive academic environment.

Each of our IB Diploma students will leave LCIS with more than just a set of exams results. Our school's commitment to developing well-rounded, ambitious and caring individuals has equipped them with the values and skills that will help them both at university and in the workplace.

The entire LCIS school community offers its warmest congratulations to Sylvia, Mila, Ben, Crystale, Emma, Alicia, Issy, Lilli, Amandine, Danny, Anna-Zoé, Frazer and Victoria as they prepare to join a number of prestigious universities worldwide, including EHL (École hôtelière de Lausanne); Durham and the University of Edinburgh.

Over 160,000 students from all over the world took the IB Diploma this year. The IB’s outlook is key to our success at LCIS – allowing students to engage with the global community and to develop an unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the world around them. 

Once again, bravo to our students on your hard work! We wish Ben, Sylvia, Mila, Emma, Alicia, Issy, Lilli, Amandine, Danny, Anna-Zoé, Frazer, Victoria and Crystale the very best with the next stages of their journey.

Andy Puttock, Education Director of Nord Anglia Education, said, “I am delighted by the outstanding IB diploma results achieved by our students this year.
