Our University Matriculations
With an impressive IB average score of 37.5 and DCI Schools ranked Top in China IB League for 4 years, our Class of 2025 has once again demonstrated exceptional and diverse university outcomes — not only in the breadth of destinations but also in the richness of academic disciplines, showcasing both diversity and distinction.
The data reveals a continued strength in the US and UK, which remain the top two destinations for DCI and Dehong graduates. This year, the US reclaimed the number one spot, with 29.5% of students choosing American universities — a 0.9% decrease from 2024 — while the UK saw an 8.3% decrease, now accounting for 27.3%.
Beyond these two traditional destinations, we also saw a marked rise in interest in Asia, Australia & New Zealand, and Europe. Asia in particular has become the third most popular destination, increasing from 6.1% last year to 9.7% in 2025, followed by steady growth in Australia and New Zealand (5.4% to 6.8%) and Europe (3.1% to 4.7%) — a clear reflection of our students' global outlook and growing confidence in pursuing opportunities across the world.
