Munin is talented in many subject areas, achieving a passing grade in IGCSE Physics in Year 9! WellMunin!done
The IB Diploma Programme is a two year course where students study six subjects; three at higher level and three at standard level. The maximum grade a student can achieve in one of their six subjects is seven points. In addition to the six subjects, Diploma students study Theory of Knowledge and complete an Extended Essay which provide up to three bonus points for students. The maximum IB Diploma score is therefore 45 points. The minimum score needed to pass the IB Diploma is 24 points and the world average each year is around 30. Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) is also a core element of the IB Diploma Course, as it encourages students to engage with the local community and also continue to find ways to improve themselves.
The class of 2022 achieved absolutely outstanding results and we are very proud to report that, in what is now becoming a proud tradition for St Andrews Green Valley, we once again achieved a 100% pass rate compared to an annual world average pass rate of 80 85%. This is the eleventh year in a row Green Valley have achieved this result!

Many of our students have also achieved excellent individual IB Diploma scores. In 2022 students who achieved 40 points were in the top 13% worldwide; points the top 10%; points the top points the top and 45 points was the top score The table below shows the Green Valley honour roll. Completing and passing the IB Diploma is a significant achievement. In 2022, nearly 174,000 students sat exams for the full Diploma or in individual subjects. St Andrews Green Valley had a total of seventeen graduating students with thirteen completing the full diploma. All thirteen of these students passed the full diploma with one of the students achieving a Bilingual Diploma. For over a decade, St. Andrews Green Valley has established a culture of academic excellence, easily outstripping world averages and consistently producing results that establish it as the premier International School on the Eastern Seaboard.

The core subjects of English, Maths and Science are at the centre of the IGCSE programme. As St Andrews Green Valley is not satisfied with just delivering the normal IGCSE programme, students are given many opportunities to strive for additional and higher results. Examples of this are: English 2nd Language exams being taken in year 9; Year 10 students sitting IGCSE Mathematics and Mandarin exams one year early; Year 11 students sitting AS Maths exams; students sitting exams in 3 individual Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) instead of the Coordinated Science programme. St Andrews are very proud of the overall results achieved by our Year 11 students. A few highlights are: 91.2% grades of A* - C’s, compared to a UK average of 70% 44.2 % grades of A* A, compared to a UK average of around 22% 100% pass rate in English Literature, English Second Language, AS Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, DT, French, Mandarin, Italian, Drama and Computing. St Andrews students also achieved a number of individual successes. Highly notable results were achieved by:
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education or IGCSE is the equivalent of the GCSE’s (O levels). Typically IGCSE’s are a two year course which students study in Years 10 and 11. Many of the IGCSE courses include a course work component but most typically conclude with examinations in May June of the second year. Students receive grades of A*, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and U (ungraded) or 1 9 for their work with grades of A* C or 4 9 considered as strong passing grades. In total, twenty eight St Andrews Year 11 students were awarded excellent results which, as usual, were well above international standards. Students at St Andrews will typically sit exams in seven to ten subjects at IGCSE level, although some students do sit more.
Over the past 9 years, over 220 students have been entered for the English as a Second Language exam before Year 11, with a spectacular pass rate of over 91%. This year, eighteen Year 9 and 10 students were entered for the E2L exam, with 83% achieving a grade of C or better and 33% achieving an A* or and A!
For a number of years the English Department has prepared students to take the IGCSE English as a Second Language (E2L) exams at the end of Year 9. Many other schools have students sit this exam at the end of year 10 or 11. By teaching the second language curriculum in year 9, our students are able to concentrate on the English First Language and English Literature syllabi in years 10 and 11. Therefore, by the end of year 11, many students achieve passing grades in IGCSE English as a Second Language, English First Language and English Literature. This is an outstanding achievement.
This year in Mathematics, four Year 10 students were entered in the IGCSE Maths exam and were all awarded excellent grades with 100% A* A (grade 9 x 3, grade 8 x 1).
All students study the IGCSE Coordinated Science during Year 10. At the end of Year 10, however, selected students have the option to move up to Triple Award Science where they study Biology, Chemistry and Physics as individual subjects. This is excellent preparation for the IB Diploma, giving students a great lift towards maximum results. Over the past 9 years, eighty students have entered the Triple Award Science programme, achieving a total of 103 x A* and 73 x A grades out of a total of 240 possible grades. That’s a grade of A* A 73.3% of the time. Absolutely outstanding!
IGCSE exams are normally taken at the end of year 11, however, at St Andrews Green Valley we are strong believers in encouraging our students to sit IGCSE exams early if they are capable of doing so. By doing this, we accelerate our students learning, thereby giving them a better chance to achieve higher IGCSE and IB results and, in turn, improved opportunities for University entry.

Secondary students always find studying IGCSE courses in Years 10 and 11 challenging as the workload is greater than when they are in year 9. St Andrews Green Valley students, however, have a strong track record of meeting this challenge and achieving excellent exam results. The table below summarises IGCSE results achieved by SAIS GV students between 2017 and 2022.
