"I am so proud to see our school excelling in academic excellence for all our students. We achieved the best international school results in the region, being the top school to attend for academic excellence and holistic well rounded education. Congratulations to all our staff, students and community support. We have also massively beaten the global world average of 30.2, reflecting our position of being a regional and global leader.
Having students who achieve a perfect score of 45 shows that our school is in a strong position to excel in every aspect of the IBDP - one of the toughest programs for 16-18 year olds in the world, which is highly respected by top universities globally. All of this has happened despite recent years being affected by Covid. Our staff continue to be positive, persevere, innovate and care for every child. We also have one of the highest amount of bilingual diplomas which makes these results even more impressive. I am so proud to see that we have not compromised on academics, quality teaching and supporting all our students. This reflects how our students are championing our ethos to develop academic excellence, passion, well rounded character, service, critical and creative thinking, and international mindsets. I look forward to our graduating students pursuing their passions further and making a difference in society, as our school goes from strength to strength into the future."
