Excellent results
at EIS
Emirates International School Jumeirah
and the Meadows have announced
the 2014 International Baccalaureate
Diploma Programme examination
results. EIS students have once again
excelled in the year-end grades with
both campuses achieving an average
point score of 33, which is more
than three points above international
averages and equivalent to three A
grades and one B at A-level (according
to UCAS tariffs for university entry).
Amna Al Habtoor, Director of
Schools, said, “We would like to
congratulate all students on their great
achievements. The inclusive nature of
the schools makes the results all the
more impressive. A small number of
international students who joined the
school with very little English language
ability less than two years prior to the
final examinations, went on to achieve
success in their examinations.” Ms Al
Habtoor added, “This year’s graduates
are perusing university studies the
USA, Canada or the UK at prestigious
universities, such as, The University of
California, Berkeley, McGill, Birmingham
University (Medicine) and Lancaster
University.”
IGCSE results were also reported strong
with 171 of the 221 students achieving
five A* to C. Seven students achieved
straight A*/A results and with almost a
third of all students gaining nine or more
passes at C or better.
David Hicks, School Principal at EIS-
Jumeirah, commented, “Year after
year the students at EIS demonstrate
their capability and hard work in not
only coping with the rigours of the IB
Diploma curriculum, but in surpassing
international
benchmarks.
The
experience of our teachers provides
strong support to students in achieving
their excellent outcomes. This is evident
not only by the achievements of the top
students but also with the average itself
comparing very favourably with other
schools and other curricula.”
