Outstanding Results Year on Year for International Baccalaureate

Approximately 70% of our students opt for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP), guided by experienced faculty, yielding results surpassing the global average. The students’ love for learning is evident in their exceptional value-add score of 0.93 points per subject, a testament to effective pastoral systems that allow them to achieve beyond their expected scores.

In 2022, the graduating class achieved an IB average of 34.4, surpassing the global average of 30.91. Notably, two students scored a perfect 45/45, 21% achieved 40+ IB points, and 30 obtained a Bilingual Diploma. In an Australian context, this translates to an impressive Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) of 89.5, reflecting our commitment to academic excellence and holistic student development.

Hear From Our Students & Parents

“Throughout the entirety of my AIS experience, most of the teachers I had were incredibly supportive of my academic journey and school career. At the start of my journey at AIS, I thoroughly enjoyed my involvement in the many music initiatives. I was a very young member of the AIS soul band, performed at ICE and was able to share my passion for music with like-minded peers. At the same time, the MUN program was at its peak, a truly student-driven program (at the time led by previous Head Girl/Head Boy, Amelia Woodward and Dylan Alexander) where we could learn and experiment with organisational and leadership skills; it was an incredible experience.” – Bastien, 2022 Graduate and earned 45/45 points in IB

“Two years ago I left my high school in Brazil and went straight into IB at AIS. At that time I didn’t understand what IB was and as I started the course, I realized that to maintain my high academic standards I would have to work hard. And that’s what I did. I gave my best every day to overcome the challenges of a new language and country, which didn’t come without anxiety. Fortunately, I met some special people at AIS that made my IB journey more enjoyable; such as Mr Semaan, with whom I found support; and Miss Hlawatsch and Miss Torres, with whom I found kindness and warmth. But truly, I am grateful for everyone involved in the past two years because the number of things that I learned about myself and the world is beyond measure.”  – Luana, 2022 Graduate who earned 45/45 points in IB

Chan Family

“AIS offers the Australian curriculum for Years 6-8, which our daughter is in now. Students in Years 9-10 follow the Cambridge IGCSE, and they’re allowed to choose between the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) or the Australian High School Certificate (HSC) in Year 11. Our intention is for our daughter to pursue the IBDP in the future. We value the way in which AIS promotes courage, compassion, and critical thinking to students. It opens up their minds to new ways of thinking, something we consider to be extremely valuable.” – Gordon and Salina, AIS Parents
