We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievements of YCIS Qingdao students in the 2026 IGCSE examinations.

These results reflect the sustained commitment of our students, the expertise and care of our teachers, and the invaluable encouragement provided by our families. More than a set of grades, they demonstrate the confidence, resilience, and intellectual curiosity our students have developed throughout their learning journey.

We are especially proud that every student achieved grades A*–C in:

• Additional Mathematics 

• Mathematics Extended 

• Art and Design 

• English as a Second Language 

Our students also achieved impressive results at the highest grade levels:

• 100% achieved A* in Foreign Language Mandarin Chinese

• 100% achieved A*-A in Music

• 100% achieved A*–A in English as an Additional Language

• 100% achieved A*–B in Biology

• 100% achieved A*-B in Geography

• 75% achieved A*–B in First Language Chinese

• 75% achieved A*–C in Physics

• 50% achieved A*–B in First Language English

• 50% achieved A*–A in Business Studies

In addition, 100% of eligible students achieved the International Certificate of Education (ICE), with 75% receiving a Merit award. The ICE qualification recognises achievement across a broad and balanced range of subjects, making this an important reflection of our students’ academic breadth and versatility.

We are particularly pleased to see strong outcomes across languages, mathematics, science, the humanities, and the arts. Excellence in both Foreign Language Mandarin Chinese and English as an Additional Language reflects YCIS Qingdao’s distinctive bilingual and international approach. These achievements sit alongside excellent results in mathematics, biology, geography, art, and music, demonstrating the strength of a well-rounded YCIS education.

Behind every result is an individual story of aspiration, perseverance, and growth. Our students have learned to think independently, communicate confidently, respond constructively to challenges, and apply their learning with creativity and purpose. These qualities will continue to serve them as they progress to the next stage of their education.

To our teachers, thank you for your professionalism, dedication, and unwavering belief in every student.

To our families, thank you for your trust, partnership, and continued encouragement. Your support plays an essential role in enabling our students to flourish.

Most importantly, congratulations to our students. Your achievements are a credit to your hard work and character. We are immensely proud of what you have accomplished and look forward to seeing you approach the opportunities ahead with confidence, compassion, and integrity.
