A select group of students from Dubai and Abu Dhabi have joined the elite ranks of global academic excellence by scoring a perfect 45/45 in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. This extraordinary feat places them among the top 0.1% of IB students worldwide, a reflection of their dedication, discipline, and intellectual brilliance.
Among the standout achievers are students from Dubai International Academy, GEMS Education, and Abu Dhabi’s British International School, each receiving the maximum score in the rigorous curriculum that tests students across six subjects, including extended essays and theory of knowledge. Their results have brought immense pride to their schools, families, and the wider UAE education community.
Many of the toppers are now preparing to attend top-tier universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and the University of Cambridge, where they plan to pursue fields ranging from medicine and law to artificial intelligence and environmental science. These students credit their success to not just academic discipline, but also strong mentorship and a balanced approach to life.
The UAE’s consistent rise in international academic performance is a testament to its evolving education system. Education authorities and school leaders have hailed the students’ achievements as symbols of what young learners in the region can accomplish when given the right tools and opportunities.
