Academic excellence is only part of the story.

Bavarian International School (BIS) proudly celebrates the achievements of the Class of 2026, whose International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) results once again reflect the school’s commitment to academic excellence, personal growth and future-ready learning.

This year’s graduates achieved:

• Average IB DP Score: 35 points (worldwide: 31)
• Pass Rate: 97% (worldwide: 82%)
• Students scoring 40+ points: 9 (12%)
• Students scoring 36+ points: 32 (43%)
• Bilingual Diplomas: 35 (46%)
• Best IB DP score: 44 (of max. 45)
• Cohort of Class of 2026: 76 students

While these impressive results place BIS among the leading IB World Schools, they tell only part of the story.

Behind every score is a young person who has grown through curiosity, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. Throughout their journey at BIS, our students have been encouraged to ask difficult questions, embrace different perspectives, contribute to their communities and develop the confidence to navigate an increasingly complex world.

“The IB Diploma is much more than an academic qualification,” says Sandra Evans, IB DP Coordinator of Bavarian International School. “It develops internationally minded young people who combine intellectual curiosity with compassion, resilience and the courage to make a positive difference. Our Class of 2026 exemplifies exactly that.”

At BIS, learning is designed to help every student flourish. Our Statement of Purpose reminds us that everyone has the right to belong and grow within a caring international community. Academic success is therefore never viewed in isolation but as one expression of a broader educational journey that develops character, wellbeing, leadership and a genuine sense of purpose.

In this context, we are also very pleased that another eight students have successfully completed the IB Career-related Programme (IB CP) (pass rate: 100%).

As they now embark on the next chapter of their educational journeys at universities around the world, they do so as curious learners, responsible citizens, and confident changemakers.

We warmly congratulate every graduate, together with their families, teachers & staff, and the entire BIS community, on this remarkable achievement.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are incredibly proud of all you have achieved and grateful that you will always be a part of the BIS community. We cannot wait to see the positive impact you will make on the world!
