PYP and MYP Students Excel Beyond Peers on Global Academic Benchmarks

by

A new study by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) found that students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) outperform their peers from non-IB schools on international academic benchmarks. Analysing results from more than 71,000 students across 254 international schools in the 2023–2024 International Schools’ Assessment (ISA), the research shows IB students consistently achieved higher scores across subjects and grade levels. MYP students also exceeded global PISA benchmarks in mathematics, reading, and science, reinforcing the strong academic outcomes associated with IB programmes.

The event brings together educators, students, policymakers, and thought leaders from around the world to exchange ideas and explore new approaches to teaching and learning. Through its participation, the IB highlights the impact of IB World Schools and their role in developing globally minded learners equipped with critical thinking, multilingual communication, and intercultural skills. With a strong presence in the United States since 1971—including 184 IB World Schools in Texas the organisation continues to work with schools and districts to prepare students for success in an increasingly interconnected world.
