Release of International Baccalaureate Diploma Examinations Results
SJI ’ s Class of 2018 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme ( IBDP ) students have performed very well in the November 2018 examinations . 269 students from our fifth IBDP cohort were awarded the International Baccalaureate Diploma , with an average score of 41 out of 45 points . Four students were also awarded the prestigious Bilingual Diploma .
67 % of the cohort ( 180 students ) attained at least 40 points out of 45 , of which 41 % ( 111 students ) scored 42 points or better . A quarter of our cohort ( 25 %) achieved 43 points and better .
The Class of 2018 includes our pioneer batch of 135 boys who were admitted to SJI at Secondary 1 in 2013 under the Integrated Programme . The results achieved by our Class of 2018 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 risktakers who pursue their interests and passion instead of being rote-learners .
