Exceptional results once again this unusual year
Heartfelt congratulations to our students for their exceptional results in the IB Diploma. We are most proud of their accomplishments and wish them every success in their new academic life.
Our students’ results, particularly given this year’s unusual circumstances, reflect their disciplined efforts and sense of commitment to their goals during the last two years. They also reflect our IB DP teachers’ depth of knowledge and experience which led to exceptional coursework and accurate predictions.
Another important factor was the excellent historical and statistical data of the CGS IB Diploma Programme that the IBO had at its disposal. Accolades to our IB DP teachers for their vital role in this success!
