Exceptional Results: Celebrating DCI's 2025 IB Success
The 2025 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) preliminary results are in — and once again, students across the Dulwich College International (DCI) family of schools have achieved exceptional outcomes that far exceed global benchmarks.
As the initial results come in, DCI students achieved a provisional average IBDP score of 37.35, significantly higher than the global average of 30.58. A total of 321 students sat the IB exams across our colleges. We are proud to share that we achieved a 100% pass rate, with four students attaining a perfect score of 45 out of 45. Additionally, more than one-third (35.5%) of our candidates earned 40 points or above, a remarkable accomplishment that speaks to the academic dedication and excellence of our students.
Please note that these results are provisional and may increase once remarks are completed and final scores are confirmed.
Our commitment to language and cultural fluency was also reflected in this year's results. Among students who studied Mandarin, 38% achieved full marks, and 78 students were awarded bilingual diplomas, highlighting our focus on nurturing students' multilingual proficiency, intercultural competence, and global perspective.
Reflecting on this year's performance, our Chief Education Officer Lesley Meyer shared:
"These remarkable results speak to the strength of our academic programmes, the dedication of our teachers, and the spirit of collaboration between students, families, and schools. Beyond the impressive numbers, what truly matters is how our students have grown into confident, compassionate, and globally competent young people. These results are a powerful indicator of their readiness to thrive in an ever-changing world."
Our Founder and Chairman Fraser White, also shared his congratulations:
"Congratulations to our graduating students across the DCI group on your exceptional 2025 IB results. Academic excellence has been at the heart of a Dulwich education since we opened our first school over 20 years ago—not only opening doors to top universities, but also instilling the mindset and values to thrive beyond the classroom. We are proud that all our DCI schools rank amongst the top IB schools globally."
Our IB graduates go on to join the world's top universities, with recent offers including Oxford and Cambridge, Stanford and Princeton, the University of Toronto, Mcgill University, the University of Hong Kong, the University of Amsterdam, and many more top-tier institutions around the world.
These outstanding results reflect not only academic excellence but also the values that define a Dulwich education: intellectual curiosity, global citizenship, and a deep sense of purpose. For the Class of 2025, this is not the end of a chapter — but the beginning of an exciting new journey.
Congratulations once again to all of our students, educators, and families. You continue to make us proud.
