Academic Results and University Acceptances at YCIS Chongqing

YCIS Chongqing reports a 100% pass rate for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and lists recent university acceptances that include Peking University, Tsinghua University, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Stanford University, and several University of California campuses. These figures describe outcomes for students at an international school serving expatriate children aged 3–18 in Chongqing; they are school-reported results, not an external ranking, and they do not indicate the share of students receiving any particular grade or offer.

What the School Publishes About Results

The school’s own “at a glance” summary states:

The site also says the school has “a proven track record of excellent educational results in IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.” It does not publish a breakdown of IBDP scores, IGCSE grade distributions, or cohort sizes alongside these claims, so the pass rate should be read as a headline figure rather than a full academic profile.

University Acceptances Listed

YCIS Chongqing’s “University Acceptances” section names recent destinations across several countries:

• Mainland China: Peking University, Tsinghua University
• United Kingdom: University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, London School of Economics and Political Science, University College London
• United States: Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, Cornell University
• Singapore: National University of Singapore

The list is presented as examples of recent acceptances. It does not state how many students received each offer, in which year, or for which programme, so it is best used to understand the range of destinations rather than as a per-student outcome measure.

How the Results Are Supported

The school describes a Careers and University Guidance Office as part of its secondary provision. In practice, this is the structure that typically connects IBDP/IGCSE study to applications: subject and programme choices, predicted grades, application timelines, and school documentation. The site does not detail the office’s staffing, counselling model, or application support process, so families comparing schools should ask directly about counsellor caseloads and how applications to different countries are handled.

The academic pathway itself runs from Early Childhood through Primary and Secondary to the IBDP, which the school describes as a “through-train” education. That continuity matters for results interpretation: students who complete the full pathway are the population most likely reflected in the IBDP pass rate.

What These Numbers Do and Do Not Tell You

• A 100% pass rate indicates that, among the students the school entered for the IBDP, all were awarded the diploma. It does not show average points, the number of bilingual diplomas, or how many students were not entered for the full diploma.
• Elite university names show that offers have been received, not that a typical graduate attends such institutions. Ask for the graduating cohort size and the full destination list if this matters to your decision.
• IGCSE results are referenced but not quantified on the page; request grade summaries by subject if you are evaluating the secondary years.
• The 5:1 ratio is school-wide and is not the same as class size or secondary-specific staffing.

For families assessing the school, the most useful next step is to request the current year’s IBDP score distribution, graduating class size, and the full university destination list, then compare those against the published pass rate and acceptance examples.
