NIST Class of 2025 Soars with Record IB Results and Global University Destinations
Bangkok, Thailand 16 – September 2025 – NIST International School, our corporate member, is proud to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of its graduating Class of 2025. With record-breaking International Baccalaureate (IB) results and acceptances to top universities around the world, this year’s graduates exemplify academic excellence, global citizenship, and a readiness to lead in an ever-changing world.
The Class of 2025 achieved outstanding IB results, with two students earning a perfect score of 45, an impressive class average of 37, and 27% of the cohort achieving 40 points or higher. Over half of the graduates (56%) earned the prestigious Bilingual IB Diploma, and the class achieved a 100% pass rate for the second consecutive year. These results reflect the dedication, resilience, and collaborative spirit of the students, teachers, and families that make up the NIST community.
NIST’s ties to Nordic education are reflected in the choices of graduates taking purposeful gap years or preparing for specialised pathways in Scandinavia. These tailored journeys highlight the school’s support for personalised learning experiences that align with students’ passions and goals.
This year’s graduates are pursuing an incredible diversity of pathways. Some will delve into groundbreaking fields such as artificial intelligence, data science, and aerospace engineering, while others will follow their passions in film, performing arts, psychology, international relations, and hospitality. Collectively, these choices reflect NIST’s commitment to empowering students to discover their passions, think critically, and make an impact in their chosen fields.
Dr James Dalziel, Head of School, expressed immense pride in the graduates: “The Class of 2025 has embraced every opportunity to learn, lead, and contribute during their time at NIST. Their achievements speak to their curiosity, courage, and compassion. As they step into this next chapter, they carry not only the academic skills but also the values of service, integrity, and global-mindedness that will guide them in shaping a better future.”
