Outstanding IB Diploma Results

This year, 66 students were awarded the prestigious IB Diploma, with ISHCMC achieving an impressive pass rate of 96%. This figure stands significantly above the global average pass rate of 80%, showcasing the rigorous academic standards and the supportive learning environment at our school.

The average score for our IB Diploma students was 34 out of 45, surpassing the global average of 30 points. This remarkable achievement, marking the 10th consecutive year our students have scored higher than the world average, is a testament to the hard work of our students and the dedication of our educators who strive to nurture intellectual curiosity and a love for learning.

Our Philosophy: Holistic Education

Beyond point scores and pass rates, the IBDP develops critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and exposure to a variety of viewpoints, enabling our graduates to excel at university and beyond. Alongside the IBDP our students have access to a wide variety of co-curricular and extracurricular activities, outdoor education, personal and social development education, digital citizenship, and service. This year, we celebrated our Grade 12 student VT, whose musical prowess took her to New York to perform at Carnegie Hall. Reflecting on her journey, VT graciously acknowledges, “ISHCMC has provided diverse opportunities, enabling me to research, analyze, and compose, fostering my skills as a balanced musician.” We understand that true success includes personal growth, character development, and academics, which in turn empowers each individual to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Our mission is “To inspire wellbeing and learning so that our diverse, internationally-minded community flourishes as energized, engaged, and empowered learners.”

A Culture of Care

The IBDP is a rigorous programme, and so it is essential that our students have the support they need to flourish. Our Culture of Care is deeply embedded in our community and curriculum. We are dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and respectful environments that align with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, ensuring every student feels a sense of belonging. Through the Positive ISHCMC (POSISH) framework, we emphasize the development of social-emotional competencies, positive well-being, healthy relationships, and responsible digital citizenship.
