ICS Paris Celebrates Outstanding IB Diploma Programme Results 2026

Of the 40 students who sat the Diploma this year, our results include:

• 92.5% Diploma pass rate (82.61% global average)
• 31.3 average Diploma points (30.88 global average)
• 43 points — our top individual score, out of 45
• 5 students achieved 40 points or above
• 19 students received the IB Bilingual diploma. 

These results are the product of two years of rigorous academic study, during which students engaged deeply with the IB's demanding, inquiry-based curriculum across six subject groups, alongside the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS). The Diploma Programme is widely recognised by universities and employers alike for the breadth, depth and rigour it demands, and for the critical thinking, research and time-management skills it cultivates in students.

Commenting on this year's results, Mrs. Boursin, DP Coordinator at ICS Paris, said:

"We are incredibly proud of every single student and their achievements this year. These results are a reflection not just of academic ability, but of two years of resilience, curiosity and genuine hard work. Every student on this journey has grown in ways that go far beyond their final scores, and we could not be prouder of the young people they have become."

ICS Paris is proud to be an inclusive school, and we are especially proud that results of this calibre have been achieved by a cohort representing a genuinely diverse range of backgrounds, learning profiles and nationalities. This year's results are a powerful demonstration that academic excellence and inclusive education are not mutually exclusive — at ICS Paris, they go hand in hand.

As our students move forward to universities around the world, we look forward to following their continued success, confident that the skills and values instilled during their time at ICS Paris will serve them well in the next stage of their journey.
