Release of International Baccalaureate Diploma Examinations Results
SJI ’ s Class of 2017 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme ( IBDP ) students have performed very well in the November 2017 examinations . All 138 students from our 4 th IBDP cohort passed the examinations , and achieved an average score of 41 out of 45 points .
Seven students achieved perfect scores of 45 points , and 17 students had a near perfect score of 44 points . 50 % of the cohort ( 69 students ) scored 42 points or more , and 79 % ( 109 students ) attained at least 40 points out of 45 . Six students were also awarded the prestigious Bilingual Diploma this year .
The Class of 2017 includes our pioneer batch of 55 boys who switched from SJI ’ s ‘ O ’ -Level Programme to the Integrated Programme at Secondary 3 in 2014 to do the IBDP . The results achieved by our Class of 2017 is evident of a trend that the SJI IBDP relates well with students who enjoyed high academic expectations from the programme . They have found joy in learning by being risk-takers who pursue their interests and passion instead of being rote-learners .
