Léman IB Students Achieved A Pass Rate Of 100%

[July 10th 2020] — Students, teachers, parents and school community members at Léman International School Chengdu, are celebrating today thanks to students achieving exceptional results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for the 2019/20 academic school year.
Léman achieved a pass rate of 100 per cent this year. The average score of 35 was nearly 20% higher than the IB global average of 29.9 points, widening the gap between the school and other IB schools around the world. 
At Nord Anglia Education — the world’s leading premium international school group — all 66 of its schools support students to achieve more than they may have ever thought possible. Every Nord Anglia school, including Léman, believes there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically.

“I am incredibly proud of our students this year, who have coped magnificently with the circumstances caused by Covid-19 to achieve our highest ever average score.  This talented group of individuals have a very bright future awaiting them,” Tom Ferguson, Principal of Léman said.
The school was particularly thrilled after it received word that 4 students from our school achieved 40 points and above.  This is the level of attainment required to gain admission to the world’s elite universities, such as Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Stanford.
“I am so proud of our Nord Anglia students who have, for the seventh year in a row, achieved results that exceed global averages for the IB Diploma,” said Elise Ecoff, Group Education Director, Nord Anglia Education.
As a family of schools, Nord Anglia schools recorded an average diploma score of 33 points out of 45, well above the global average score of 29.9 points. Nord Anglia also had a 94% diploma pass rate in its IB schools, which is significantly above the global average of 77.4% last year. This marks seven years of our global family exceeding average scores.
