Aoba’s graduates excel again 6 August 2021

Congratulations to our Class of 2021 students for successfully completing the IB Diploma Programme!

It has been 2 tough years of dedication for all DP students and teachers around the world.

Of the students who received the full Diploma, 1 student received the Bilingual Diploma. This year’s Aoba’s highest was 42 points with 25% of students achieving 40 points and above, and 41% achieving 36 – 39 points. This year’s average is 36 points, which was higher than the global average of 33. The average grade obtained by the diploma students is 5.68.

Since our first DP graduates in 2018, our students have demonstrated consistent academic growth in all areas. This growth is reflected in our university acceptances as well, with the school now supporting a number students gaining acceptance in a Top 10 university in the USA and the UK.
