A total of 55 students at Northbridge International school Cambodia studied for IB exams this year. As well as achieving an outstanding pass rate of 100%, the students’ average score of 34.1, was one of the highest in Northbridge's history, exceeding the global average of 31.9.
Many Northbridge students will continue their academic studies at the world’s best universities, including the University of San Francisco, City University of London, and National University of Singapore. Among these students will be Chloe K, who achieved a nearly perfect score of 44, putting her in the top 1% of IB students worldwide.
"I developed the ability to challenge myself to be my best self with the support of my teachers. Thanks to NISC's passionate and positive spirit, I was able to overcome obstacles during my IB journey."
In addition to Chloe, an impressive 14% of NISC students received 40+ points. Northbridge Principal Ms Frances Morton had this to say:
"We are proud of every single student, as they have endeavored to be the very best versions of themselves. This year we celebrate all our students in their success and it has been an absolute privilege to have been part of their journey."
