Inspiring Results From BWYA
With summer drawing to a close, autumn is just around the corner. At the start of the harvest season, we’d like to share with you the impressive results achieved by our students over the past year. Whether it is IB, IGCSE, or university admissions, 2020-2021 was a fruitful year for all BWYA students.
In the IB DP exams, we again had a 98% pass-rate, with an average 38.0, far exceeding the world average of 33.0. 22 of our students (45% of the whole grade) also achieved scores of 40 or more. But not only that, two students, Seoyun Kwon and Xiong Penghao, achieved perfect 45 scores.
This year, our IGCSE results were similarly impressive, with a 100% pass rate, and more than half of our 30 students’ exams graded A* or A.
Congratulations to our students for all your successes!
Since being established in 2001, at BWYA we have never forgotten our motto, Locally Grounded, Globally Aware, as we continue to explore the integration of national, and international courses.
