The results of the IB exams indicate a high level of achievement across our total IB cohort, with many of our students earning marks at or near the highest level of achievement. Depending on the college or university, IB Full Diploma Programme graduates may earn significant college credits for their achievements.

In addition to our IB Full Diploma Programme graduates, DePaul Prep’s Individual IB Course Candidate Pathway included 94 students from the Class of 2026. The following subjects had a 90 -100% pass rate: Film, Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay (EE), History, Literature, and Spanish. DePaul Prep IB students’ scores also surpassed the global averages in Literature, History, Math A&I, Visual Arts, and Film. In two subject areas, students earned a score of 7 (out of 7): History and Literature. We are also pleased to share that many of these individual course IB students will earn college credit for their accomplishments.
