We speak to Uxue Gantxegi , a WISS Alumni who graduated in 2021 to study philosophy and linguistics at the University of Utrecht in Netherlands. “One aspect that formed part of my development was the small, tight-knit community that WISS had. Being part of a caring community really influenced my behavior towards others and contributed to my realization that we are all part of a global community. WISS also offered me many valuable literacy skills, such as essay writing, that have been very useful in my time at university. “

WISS offers a truly balanced and inclusive approach to the IB Programmes and invites all students to take part through our Diploma and Career-related Programmes. With 100% of our students participating in our IB Programmes, their achievements are truly impressive. With a WISS average DP score nearly 3 points above the world average and 1 in 4 WISS students scoring in the top 22% worldwide, WISS results are remarkable.

While these IB scores are worth celebrating and a superb reflection of our students’ effort, growth, and performance, they are just a small part of the picture. At WISS, students are much more than test scores.
