HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the 2026 International
Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results are announced, the European International School
Ho Chi Minh City (EIS) celebrates another year of outstanding IB achievement, reinforcing
its position among Ho Chi Minh City’s highest-performing IB schools.

The Class of 2026 has delivered another outstanding set of IB Diploma results, with
an average score of **33.5**, a **100% pass rate**, and **66% of students awarded
the IB Bilingual Diploma**. As graduates embark on the next chapter of their journey
at universities across Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and Asia, these
achievements represent far more than outstanding academic results.

[[

They reflect the strength of the Educational Village philosophy, where personalised
learning, student wellbeing and a fully integrated IB journey empower every learner
to realise their full potential and confidently pursue the university destination
that best matches their strengths and aspirations.

As **the**** only ****boutique IB continuum ****school in Ho Chi Minh City**, EIS
provides students with a seamless educational pathway from the Primary Years Programme(
PYP), through the Middle Years Programme (MYP), to the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
Rather than transitioning between different educational philosophies, students develop
within one coherent learning framework, allowing teachers, counsellors and school
leaders to understand each learner deeply, guide informed academic choices and nurture
long-term personal growth.

Learning at EIS extends beyond the classroom. Cross-level collaboration, close partnerships
between teachers, counsellors and families, and a calm, green campus environment
create a community where students feel safe, supported and inspired to learn. At
EIS, wellbeing and academic excellence are not competing priorities. They reinforce
one another.

Supporting this vision is the distinctive **Co-Head leadership model**, led by **
Jo Roberts** and **Ben Armstrong**, combining long-standing community leadership
with academic expertise to preserve the school’s values while preparing students
for an increasingly dynamic global future.

_"Every student who graduates from EIS leaves with their own aspirations and ambitions,
but what never changes is our commitment to every child in our care. We believe 
the strongest outcomes come when students feel known, valued and supported to achieve
their very best. Seeing our graduates leave with confidence, kindness, and a sense
of purpose is what makes us most proud."_ **said Jo Roberts, Co-Head of School.**

**Ben Armstrong, Co-Head of School,** added:

_"Outstanding academic results begin long before students sit their IB examinations.
One of the greatest advantages of a Full IB Continuum is that we have the time to
truly understand each learner, identify their strengths, nurture their interests
and guide them towards the subject choices that best match their aspirations. When
students choose the right pathway, they don’t just achieve higher scores; they develop
the confidence, curiosity and capability to gain admission to their first-choice
university destination and build successful futures beyond it."_
