Breaking Records with Academic Excellence
Alright, here's the deal: Nord Anglia Education is on a roll, and they're not just playing for participation trophies. This global ace kicked off with its Class of 2026 rocking some killer results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). We're talking big numbers: 2,617 students across 51 schools, and a staggering one in seven bagging 40+ points. That's the equivalent of four A* grades in A levels for the unacquainted. Now, that's some serious brainpower on display.
Outstanding Achievements in Numbers
The proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the numbers. Seven Nord Anglia schools boasted students with ‘perfect 45’ scores. Consider this the academic equivalent of a grand slam. These schools span the globe—British International School Hanoi, British International School Ho Chi Minh City, and Nord Anglia International School Dubai, to name a few. Amman Academy in Jordan led the pack, scoring a jaw-dropping average of 39.5 points.
Across the entire network of Nord Anglia schools, students snagged an average Diploma score of 34 points, outshining the global average of 30.88 hands down. This isn't just a fluke; it's the 13th consecutive year they've outperformed on a global scale.
Snapshot of Global Highlights
Let's take a quick jaunt around the world for a peek at these standout performers. In the Middle East, you're looking at Nord Anglia International School Dubai and Swiss International School Dubai with dazzling results. Over in China, Léman International School Chengdu flaunted a sweet score of 36.6 on average.
Southeast Asia didn't miss the memo either, with the British International School Ho Chi Minh City pulling a solid 36.6 average points. India, Europe, and the Americas all played their parts, showing off scores that made even the skeptics whistle in awe.
“This year's results underline why high-quality teaching and academic excellence are at the heart of a Nord Anglia education," said Dr. Kate Erricker, Chief Education Officer at Nord Anglia Education.
Pathway to Premier Universities
It's one thing to rake in the points but translating that into top-tier university entrances is another feat altogether. Nord Anglia isn't sweating this one. Their students have offers rolling in from the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Stanford University, among others. It’s practically a who's who of academic giants rolling out the red carpet for these young stars.
All these numbers aren't just for vanity’s sake. Nord Anglia Education’s strategic focus is clearly on preparing students for top universities and the ever-challenging world beyond the classroom.

It’s all about personalising learning and blending stellar teaching with cutting-edge tech. Behind the numbers and stats, there’s a palpable drive to foster creativity and resilience in students.
