After the recent great news about the YCIS Shanghai Class of 2021 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) results, we are pleased to follow up with more academic success—this time for our Year 11 students. The Class of 2023, who will start their IBDP journeys in Year 12 this month, set a great standard across the board in the recent International General Certificate of Education (IGCSE) exams. Of all the exams taken by the cohort, 91% received A*–C grades and more than half received A* or A grades, indicating a high level of learning and understanding. Below are three highlights from the 2021 IGCSE exams.

不久前，2021级国际文凭课程（IBDP）成绩放榜时，上海耀中与大家分享了喜讯。上周，我们见证了又一个优异学术成果的发布——这一次，成绩单的主人公是11年级（2023届）的学生。本月，他们即将踏入12年级，开启IBDP之旅。在最近的国际IGCSE考试中，他们表现优秀。所有考试中，91%的学生获得了A*-C的成绩，超过一半的学生获得了A*或A，充满证明了他们出色的学习和理解能力。以下是2021年IGCSE考试的三个亮点。

Language 

语言

Students enter YCIS Shanghai at different ages, from different schools, countries, and backgrounds. However, one thing we always strive to achieve with all students is a high level of competency in their host country’s local language of Mandarin Chinese. At the IGCSE level, students have three options to accommodate native and non-native speakers. Not only did all our students pass with higher-level scores (A*–C) on their Chinese exams, 100% of those taking Foreign Language Mandarin Chinese scored A*/A. This strength in Mandarin across all levels enables all our students to actively engage in life in China, making the most of the abundant opportunities that language can unlock.

耀中学生在不同的年纪，从不同的学校、国家和背景来到学校入读。然而，我们一直努力让所有学生达到高阶的汉语水平。IGCSE中文课程分为三个级别，分别针对以中文为母语，以及中文为非母语的学生。所有的学生都以优良（A*-C）的成绩通过了考试，其中以中文作为外语科目的学生更是100%获得了A*/A的佳绩。中文的优势使我们所有的学生得以积极投身于中国的生活，并充分利用精通汉语所带来的丰富机会。

STEM

There is no denying the immense impact that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics will have on our future. This academic year, we saw fantastic achievements in international Maths competitions and celebrated the creativity and collaboration through STEM during our TEDx event in June, showing how engaged students are in STEM inside and outside the classroom. The IGCSE students built upon this success and we witnessed a high standard in all Maths IGCSE results. We were delighted to see that 100% of the students who took Additional Maths scored A*–B.

不可否认，科学、技术、工程和数学将对我们的未来产生巨大的影响。本学年，耀中学子在国际数学竞赛中取得了优异的成绩，而在6月份的TEDx活动中，他们也充分证明了其在课堂内外对STEM的参与程度，尽显创造力和合作力。本次IGCSE考试中，他们在数学学科上表现优异。我们很高兴地看到，这次参加进阶数学科目考试的学生，全部都取得了A*-B的成绩。

Arts

艺术

Many YCIS Shanghai students enjoy participating in Music and Performing Arts, be it on stage or backstage. From Early Childhood through to Upper Secondary, our students learn multiple instruments, act, design sets, and undertake technical sound and lighting roles, among others. There are numerous examples of students who have gone on to prestigious Music and Performing Arts programmes after graduation, including recent graduate Kevin who will matriculate at the world-famous Berklee College of Music this autumn. This year, 100% of students who took the Music IGCSE received grades A*–B.

上海耀中的许多学生喜欢且积极参与音乐和表演艺术，无论在台前抑或在幕后。从幼儿园到高中，耀中的学生可以学习多种乐器、舞台表演、舞美设计，并有机会参与到充满技术挑战的音响和灯光控制等工作中去。耀中有相当一批优秀学生在毕业后进入著名院校，继续音乐和表演艺术课程的深造，包括今年浦东的毕业生Kevin，他将在秋天进入世界著名的伯克利音乐学院学习。今年，参加IGCSE音乐学科考试的学生，100%获得了A*-B的好成绩。

We want to celebrate the entire cohort’s results and also recognise how well students did individually. Gaining even one A* or A grade is a fantastic achievement, so we were delighted to learn that we had students with multiple, including a YCIS Puxi student who was awarded 10 A* and one A grade and a student from YCIS Pudong who received 9 A* and one A grade . These are phenomenal results, and the YCIS Shanghai community is proud of the hard work of all our students and teachers. We look forward to the continued success of the Class of 2023 in the IBDP.

我们在此祝贺学生所取得的整体优异成绩，同时更看到了每个个体的努力与付出。即便只获得一个A*或A，都是了不起的成就，所以当我们看到一名上海耀中（浦西校区）的学生获得了10个A*和一个A的成绩与一名上海耀中（浦东校区）的学生获得了9个A*和一个A时，我们无比喜悦与自豪。上海耀中为所有学生和老师的努力工作感到骄傲！我们期待在未来的IBDP考试中，2023届学生可以继续取得成功。
