St. George Barcelona has once again reaffirmed its position as a leading British international school in Barcelona, celebrating a 100% pass rate in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and a 100% first-choice university admission rate for its graduating Class of 2026.
These exceptional results reflect the hard work of the students, the personalized dedication of the teaching staff, and the continuous support of families throughout the academic journey.
International Baccalaureate (IBDP): Academic Excellence & Global Mindset
The IB Diploma Programme is a world-renowned qualification combining high academic rigor with critical thinking, independent research, and a global perspective. In the 2026 examination session, St. George Barcelona students significantly outperformed global averages:
100% Pass Rate in the IBDP (compared to the 82.6% global average).
Average Score of 35.26 points (compared to the 30.8 global average).
Top Score Achieved: 42 out of 45 points.
58% of students scored over 35 points (compared to 30.8% worldwide).
24% of students achieved excellence scores between 40 and 45 points (compared to 8.9% globally).
Beyond the marks, the IBDP pedagogical approach—through core components like Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)—equips students with the resilience and maturity required to thrive at the university level.
100% First-Choice University Placement
A key pillar of St. George Barcelona's success is its individual career and academic guidance service. Through tailored support—from subject selection to university application preparation—100% of the 2026 graduates were admitted to their first-choice university.
Graduates are heading to prestigious institutions across Spain, the UK, the US, Ireland, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Greece, and beyond. They will be pursuing competitive degrees including Aerospace Engineering, Law, Business Administration, Robotics, Animation, and Hospitality Management.
IGCSE: Building Strong Foundations in Secondary Education
Secondary students also demonstrated outstanding academic performance in their IGCSE examinations, consolidating the preparation needed for Sixth Form:
92.8% of grades achieved were between levels 4 and 9.
97.5% of students achieved at least one top grade (7 to 9).
56% of all grades fell into the highest range (7 to 9).
A Holistic Education for the Future
At St. George Barcelona, education extends beyond academic transcripts. The school fosters confident, curious, and analytical individuals who are prepared to navigate an ever-changing international environment.
"We warmly congratulate the Class of 2026, their families, and our teaching staff for making these extraordinary results possible. We will continue to support our students as they build their own success, both inside and outside the classroom."
