IB Results 2005

The IBD final results were published in July for our first batch of candidates, the Class of 2005. The scores were completely in keeping with the superb list of university and college offers received earlier, some of which were dependent upon these results.

During the two-year course, central themes have been the exceptional quality of our IB students and the caliber of our faculty, within the setting of a very positive learning environment. The various phases of the programme and achievements of students in a wide range of activities contributed to the highest of expectations, which were met and validated in July.

With 57 candidates entered, the average total was 36 points out of a maximum possible 45, well above international averages for the world, and a truly remarkable achievement. Not only that, but 13 candidates earned over 40 points!

As regards individual subjects - entries were made for 25 subjects, and in 21 the DAIS average was considerably better that of the world. The remaining 4 were not statistically significant, due to very limited class sizes.

This was an exceptional opening innings, and it goes without saying that the experience will form the foundation for continuing to strive for, and achieve, excellence. An essential measure of the dream has been met - external assessment of the most rigorous kind.

Congratulations are well deserved, and candidates, parents and all members of the DAIS family can be very proud.
