Ä¢¹½tv, high school students have more than one road to success. They can pursue the Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Diploma Program, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), or even a carefully balanced combination of both AP and IB courses. Whichever path they choose, our teachers and college counselors guide them every step of the way, and last year¡¯s results show just how far those paths can lead. 

Last school year, over 600 Ä¢¹½tv students tackled almost 2,000 exams across the AP and IB programmes. For AP, students took 1,668 exams across a wide range of subjects, earning an average score of 4.3, well above the global mean of 3.1. Ä¢¹½tv students scored a perfect score of 5 on 955 exams! 97% of AP students earned a score of 3 or higher, which comfortably exceeded the global pass rate. 

 

 

In the IB Diploma Programme, graduates achieved an average score of 37.5 out of 45 maximum points, nearly 7 points above the global average of 30.6, and achieved a 100% pass rate. 21 students scored 40 or higher with two earning a perfect 45 ¨C a rare feat in the IB world! 

 

 

Whether a student chooses AP, IB, or a hybrid of both Ä¢¹½tv, the individualized pathways we offer ensure that each learner can follow what best supports their growth and goals. As Renee Couturier, Ä¢¹½tv¡¯s Head of Educational Programs, explains: ¡°For some students, AP or IB is the best fit for them. But for others, choosing a combination gives them the best of both worlds. This pathway allows students to push themselves academically while building broad foundations for university and tailoring their learning to their passions.¡± 

That flexibility is what draws several students to a hybrid path. As Jasmine Zhang, a recent graduate, shared: ¡°I cultivated a mixed curriculum to get both depth and breadth in my education. For example, over the two-year program, I took psychology and biology in IB so that I could be exposed to real-life applications and case studies in these disciplines that I am more interested in. For disciplines I was less interested in, like English and math, I took AP so that I could still understand the major concepts.¡± 

No matter what path a student chooses, the aim is the same: building knowledge, sharpening skills, and finding the right balance between challenge and opportunity. Our students¡¯ achievements are a testament to their effort as well as the flexibility and breadth of the Ä¢¹½tv academic options available. The high scores are just the well-earned bonus points.
