In context:
- These figures rank us undoubtedly among
the top few schools in the world;
- Leading universities demand a minimum
of 36 points from applicants. As indicated
above, our average is a bit above that,
and 63% of our students achieved higher
totals!
- Out of the 23 subject areas entered
by our students, in 21 subject areas our
school is way ahead of the world averages.
To highlight a few:
- DAIS average grade in Business and
Management SL is 6.11 (world average
4.77)
- DAIS average grade in Biology SL
is 6.00 (world average 4.23)
- DAIS average grade in Chemistry
HL is 6.03 (world average 4.72)
- DAIS average grade in Environmental
Systems is 6.13 (world average 4.42)
In May 2006, 74443 candidates
were entered worldwide. Of these:
- 32130 were IB Diploma candidates, of
whom 80% were successful;
- The remaining 42313 candidates, comprising
57% internationally, earned IB Certificates
(as opposed to 6% for DAIS);
- The IB Certificate is accepted for
placement at all universities in the USA
and at many in other areas of the world;
- The main differences for a Diploma
(which are not requirements for Certificates)
are set criteria regarding scores for
HL subjects and total, and compulsory
completion and evaluation of Creativity,
Action and Service, as well as Theory
of Knowledge and Extended Essay requirements.
All of our students completed the central
elements required for the Diploma, which
are what make it so demanding a programme.
The same rigorous academic standards apply
to the assessment of subjects studied
for Certificates;
- Internationally, only 66 candidates
out of 74443 scored the maximum possible
45 points, constituting 0.09% of the total
entry - a highly select group, within
the very demanding IB Diploma setting!
It is a source of tremendous pride that
2 of them were DAIS graduates, which represents
2.46% of our students who took the examinations.
