The 2023 IBDP cohort is the eighth class in the history of the school. As a non-selective school and more than 90% of the cohort taking the IB (International Baccalaureate) examinations, these results are a clear reflection of the outstanding personalized teaching taking place at the MET.
With 60% of our scoring higher than the global average, their access to the world’s very best universities is guaranteed and we are also proud that most of our students will attend their first-choice university.
Additionally, an incredible 60% of the cohort also received bilingual diplomas - an exceptional achievement!
Head of School, Dr. Mark Starbuck said: “These resilient and determined young people achieved an average point score of 32.5, an impressive 2.3 points higher than the world average and 60% of the cohort achieved the bilingual diploma. I would like to thank the staff and parents who supported these young people to achieve their goals and go further than they dreamed possible.”
