Somersfield Achieves 100% IB Pass Rate

September 09, 2010 — Somersfield headmaster Jim Christopher said his school had achieved a 100 percent pass rate.

"We are very proud of our students and the level of excellence that they have demonstrated in meeting IB's exacting international standards.

"A great deal of credit must also go to our faculty who each made a personal commitment to do everything in their power to ensure that every one of our students was successful."

In order to fulfil the requirements of the IB Certificate, students must receive a minimum of 36 out of 63 points, fulfil all community service requirements and submit a personal project.

Their efforts are marked at Somersfield and sent to the International Baccalaureate in Cardiff, Wales, for further grading.
