Record-breaking IB results for ESF students (updated)
中文 (香港)The performance of ESF students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is outstanding this year with almost 1,000 ESF students successfully achieving the IB Diploma. This is ESF’s eighth year of adopting the IB Diploma and the performance across ESF schools has gone from strength to strength over that time.
“The performance of ESF schools is exceptional. Students have achieved incredible results in the IB Diploma this year. 99% of eligible students have achieved the full Diploma with 16 students achieving full marks, 235 students achieving 40 points or more and 112 students achieving the IB Bilingual Diploma. I congratulate the students for their hard work and personal achievement and thank staff and parents for their invaluable support,” said ESF Chief Executive Officer, Belinda Greer. “Everyone should be very proud of their achievement”.
Abraham Shek, Chairman of the ESF Board of Governors added “ESF promotes excellence and fosters high and realistic expectations of our students. I congratulate the students for their endeavour and incredible achievements and wish them continued success. I thank the teachers and support staff in schools for all that they do to bring out the best in every student and thank the parents for entrusting their child’s education to ESF.”
