Fairgreen International School’s first graduating cohort, the Class of 2023, has beaten world averages on IB examinations in an across-the-board sweep of International Baccalaureate qualification pathways. That this achievement comes in a year in which IB marking has been described by commentators as “harsh” in returning grade boundaries to strict Pre-Covid expectation, makes this year’s students all the more remarkable. You can read about the changes to the way that IB papers have been marked this year here.
Stand-out achievement by Fairgreen International students include:
- A 100% pass rate for Fairgreen International School students in the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme – in our view the most forward looking and innovative of the IB qualification pathways
- A 100% pass rate for Fairgreen International School students in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme – a qualikfication pathway many argue is the academically toughest of any post-16 academic qualification pathway in the world
- A hugely creditable overall average score of 31 Points.
- A top score of 38 out of a total possible of 45, the first graduating class of Fairgreen International School exceeding world averages on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Examinations held earlier this year.
Edward Pearce, Director, Fairgreen International School, told SchoolsCompared:
“The Fairgreen community is so proud of our students’ hard work and perseverance! The IB is a challenging and rigorous programme, recognised by the world’s top universities as the gold standard of K-12 education.”
Mr Pearce continued:
“These students truly represent the best of our school, and have been accepted to some of the leading universities in Europe, Middle East, the UK, Canada and the USA.
We are certain that they will excel in their chosen fields due to the solid foundations built by a robust Fairgreen and IB education.”
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is constructed to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring students. At Fairgreen International School these ambitions are reflected in Fairgreen International School’s unique mission to inspire its students to become enthusiastic life-long learners who promote purposeful and innovative solutions for a sustainable world. Fairgreen is committed to nurturing its students to be creative, critical thinkers – and socially responsible world citizens.
Practically, this also means, according to Mr. Pearce, that Fairgreen International Students are university and industry-ready when they graduate:
“Fairgreen students know how to research, how to write, formulate and structure their ideas and generate their own arguments, which means they are university-ready, having already honed critical skills required for higher education success.”
It is the school’s values of international-mindedness, social responsibility, wellbeing, innovation and intercultural understanding within students, preparing them for success in today’s interconnected world, which, for Mr Pearce, sets Fairgreen International School students apart:
“Students today are graduating into a global workplace, with colleagues from all around the world. To succeed as leaders, they must demonstrate a deep understanding of world issues and a respect for all cultures.”
As Fairgreen International School students grow with the school, they experience the wonders of a culture deeply rooted in Sustainable City.
Mr Pearce concluded:
“As a school deeply embedded in Sustainable City, and one committed to exploring the global issues shaping our world today and tomorrow, it is this combination of values, innovation and knowledge which define the quite exceptional strengths of our Fairgreen International students and the extraordinarily rich education they receive at our remarkable school.”
