IB-Diploma Results for the Class of 2024
On July 6th, the IB published the results for IB-Diploma students worldwide. We would like to congratulate our 9th generation of students at RBC for their achievements! Here’s a message from our Rektor Laurence Nodder:
“Since its beginning in 2014, RBC (which is both the community of students and staff, and the ‘institution’) has shown that it believes in and practices high academic standards, whilst being concerned first and foremost with human attitudes. Collectively, the 9th Generation has demonstrated its high academic standards as measured by the DP results, without even having to acknowledge the different linguistic and schooling backgrounds. I contrast the (provisional) collective results (which might well increase) with those of 2019, the year before the Covid-19 pandemic, also showing the DP world statistics for 2019. During the pandemic, the IB allowed for a measure of grade inflation so as not to disadvantage students whose access to schooling had been disrupted; the IB has stated that it wishes to return to pre-pandemic averages and my hunch is that this will prove to be the case with the grades from the May 2024 examinations. Currently, the average score of RBC students is four points above what I expect to be the world average, which is outstanding!

| 24-29 points | 9 | 8,82% | 13,6% | 30,42% |
| 30-34 points | 37 | 36,27% | 34,4% | 26,11% |
| 35-39 points | 36 | 35,29% | 25,0% | 17,73% |
| 40-45 points | 15 | 14,71% | 22,9% | 7,61% |
Please know that I am proud of the individuals together making up the 9th Generation, and what we have accomplished. We have walked this journey together. We have learned to live in a highly diverse community. Whilst none of us had a perfect UWC experience, we have grown in knowledge, understanding, empathy and compassion. We have built common ground amongst people from very different backgrounds, which is something increasingly rare and precious. I hope that we have grown in intrinsic motivation to live more peaceably and sustainability, and to work individually and collectively towards these.”
