ACS International Schools students celebrate outstanding results and secure top university places around the world

Excellent IB results

Students studying the DP across all three schools in Cobham, Egham and Hillingdon achieved an average score of 35, surpassing the global average of 30.6. This secures continued success for ACS International Schools, with almost 30 students achieving a score of more than 40 in their IB exams this year.

ACS Cobham

• 20% of students achieved 40 out of 45 points (equivalent to above 4 A*’s at A Level)
• 4 students achieved 43 points 
• Overall, the school secured a pass rate of 97%

Robert Crowther, Head of School at ACS Cobham, said: “Every year, we are so proud of the results that our students achieve. Having witnessed their hard work, our 2025 graduates have shown exceptional commitment to their learning, and as a school, we cannot wait to see what they go on to achieve in their lives. With offers from universities all over the world, I am confident that our approach to learning has given our students the skills they need to go into the world and make a positive difference.”Charlotte, a graduate from ACS Cobham who completed the DP and is now on her way to study Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Cambridge said: “The IB was challenging but so rewarding. It allowed me to develop a diverse range of skills that I know will aid me at university and beyond. Not only has the IB enabled me to explore different subject areas with different skill-sets, such as maths and science to more essay-based subjects such as economics, but it has also helped me understand the importance of discipline, balance and perseverance.”

ACS Egham

• Overall, the school secured a pass rate of 100%
• 52% of students achieved 35 points and above
• The first graduating cohort of six CP students achieved a 100% pass rate

Also in Surrey, a student at ACS International School Egham, the only school in England to offer all four IB programmes, achieved the same highest IB score of an impressive 43 out of 45, (equivalent to above 4 A*s at A Level).Another graduating student, Nil Çukurkaya who will be studying Law at Kings College London, said: “The IB was a journey of discipline, curiosity, and resilience. It pushed me to think critically and develop skills that will guide me well in the future. The growth I experienced along the way has been just as meaningful as the final result.”Mark Wilson, Head of School at ACS Egham, said: “Congratulations to our IB Diploma graduates. Their perseverance has been an example to us all in the ACS Egham community. While our graduates deserve all the praise for their results, I’d like to say a special thank you to our staff whose passion for education made these exceptional results possible. As our students leave, I know that whichever path they decide to take, they will be ready to achieve with confidence, and will no doubt go on to achieve incredible things.”

ACS Hillingdon

• Overall, the school secured a pass rate of 100%
• IBCP students at the school celebrated a 100% pass rate
• The highest IBDP mark achieved by a student was 44 out of 45

Martin Hall, Head of School at ACS Hillingdon, said: “I am delighted for our students. Their dedication is an example to us all, and I’m proud to have witnessed their successes every step of the way. All of our students demonstrate passion, innovation and confidence in their learning, and as a school, we cannot wait to see what they go on to achieve. After everything they’ve learned in their journey at ACS Hillingdon, I’m confident that they have the skills they need to become global citizens who can tackle any challenge in the future, whatever comes their way.”Sasha Mucha, a graduate from ACS Hillingdon who is now off to study Chemistry at Vassar College in the US, said: “Completing the IB DP at ACS Hillingdon was certainly challenging but it was also very rewarding. The programme provided a balance of breadth and depth that I believe will set me up well for my future studies. I’m grateful for my teachers at ACS, whose passion for the subjects they teach has instilled in me that same passion, for me particularly in the subjects of Economics, English, and Chemistry.”
