Two Perfect IB Scores at AIS Saigon as Class of 2026 Sets School Record

The Australian International School (AIS) Saigon posted its strongest International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results in two decades, with two students scoring a perfect 45 points and the cohort averaging 35.5, the school said Wednesday.

Sadhika and Quang Khang (Gateau) became the first students in the school's history to achieve the maximum IB score. Quang Khang is the first Vietnamese student at AIS to do so. The 111-member graduating class posted a 100% pass rate, with 30% scoring 38 points or higher. More than two-thirds of graduates – 68.13% – earned the IB Bilingual Diploma.

Sadhika, a full boarding scholarship student, founded the student-led initiative EcoPsych and was named to the Nsouli Scholars Programme. She received York University's President's International Scholarship worth CAD 180,000 to study psychology. Quang Khang is exploring university options in Australia, the school said.

"Every graduating class leaves its own legacy, and the Class of 2026 will always hold a special place in the history of AIS Saigon," Executive Principal Jon Standen said in a statement. "While we are delighted to celebrate our strongest IB results to date, what makes this cohort truly special is the journey behind those achievements."

Graduates received offers and scholarships from universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Asia.

AIS Saigon, which marks its 20th anniversary this year, is part of Inspired Education Group. Founder and Chairman Nadim M. Nsouli said Sadhika's achievement "reflects both the strength of AIS Saigon and the extraordinary potential of students in Vietnam."

The school enrolls students from 18 months to 18 years old and follows the Australian curriculum alongside the IB Diploma Programme.
