ACS International School Egham students studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) have achieved excellent results in recent exams: 35% of students at ACS Egham scored above 38 DP points, better than A*AA at A level, with Egham’s highest student scoring an impressive 44 out of 45. This school’s cohort has achieved an average point score of 35, surpassing the global IBDP average score of 30.24. and a pass rate of 95%, surpassing the average global pass rate of 79.3%. Students will now go on to study at top universities around the world and the UK, including UCL, Kings College London and Royal Holloway.
2023 Valedictorian and ECIS Award Winner, Daniel Trigueiro, scored 44 and gained a place at Bocconi University in Italy. The Valedictorian award is given in recognition of outstanding academic achievement and represents the highest standards of planning, diligence and commitment in all studies. Daniel describes his time at ACS as: “Constant metamorphosis. The DP has enabled me to dive headfirst into an infinite sea of academic and personal inquiry. From the surprisingly philosophical quantum investigations in the lab to the incandescent improv sequences in the school’s theatre production, this multipotential voyage has prepared me for any future pathway. Even though I’m certain about my next steps – into Economics and Sustainable Development – I have learned to be ready to change, relearn, and adapt.”
ACS Egham is one of only two schools in the UK to offer all four IB programmes from primary years through to sixth form. The DP, in particular, ensures students are ready for higher education, the world of work and develops students to become internationally-minded, global citizens. ACS Egham also offers the Career-related Programme (CP), a stand-out programme specifically developed for students who wish to engage in career-related learning for work while gaining transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural engagement.
Mark Wilson, Head of School, ACS Egham, comments: “Congratulations to all our IB graduating students. We are extremely proud of how hard you worked, your resilience and commitment have paid off with an excellent set of results. On behalf of all the staff, I wish you every success going forward. The universities and work placements you are moving on to are lucky to be receiving open-minded, organised and passionate people to join their communities. You have successfully completed a challenging academic programme and found balance to develop your personal interests and pursue your passions. We will continue to follow your journey with interest and pride, confident that you will make a positive impact in the world.”
ACS International Schools and IBSCA recently commissioned a report titled Education for a World of Opportunity, revealing that British employers agree and appreciate the “added value” elements of an IB education that can be found at the core of each IB programme, which support students’ personal and interpersonal development, alongside fostering important social skills.
