ISKL students achieved an impressive 100 percent pass rate and average IB score of 35 points, significantly higher than the worldwide pass rate, historically around 80 percent, and five points above the 2024 worldwide average of 30 points. Notably, 24 percent of ISKL students scored 40 or more points out of a possible 45, which typically places them in the top 10 percent of global IB Diploma scores.Furthermore, 24 percent of ISKL students earned a Bilingual Diploma in Chinese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Swedish. The Bilingual Diploma requires students to take IB Language and Literature courses in two different languages and reflects ISKL’s diverse community of over 70 nationalities and 40 home languages.In the AP exams, which enable students to earn credits and/or advanced placement at colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada, 80 percent of ISKL students scored either 4 or 5, indicating they are very well qualified or extremely well qualified, respectively. The average AP subject score at ISKL was 4 out of a possible 5 points.Congratulating the cohorts of 106 IB candidates and 108 AP candidates,  ISKL’s Head of School, Mr. Rami Madani, said, “We are delighted to see another year of impressive results. ISKL is an inclusive school, and we celebrate the achievements of all our students. Each one experiences a different learning journey, and these results reflect their hard work and tenacity. We also thank and acknowledge our IB and AP teachers, our team of High School counselors, and administrators, who have done an outstanding job in both delivering high-quality learning and nurturing the well-being of our students.”ISKL’s High School academic program is distinguished by its flexibility, offering students the IB Diploma Programme and the bespoke Pursuits Program, which allows students to combine individual IB, AP, and High School Diploma courses to create a personalized study program.The success of this approach is evident in the 280 offers and acceptances the Class of 2024 has received from universities in 16 countries, including Australia, Canada, China, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Qatar, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
