Across the 111-member graduating cohort, students have received offers and scholarships from leading universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Asia, demonstrating the breadth of opportunities available to AIS graduates.
Leading this exceptional cohort are Sadhika and Quang Khang (Gateau), who became the first students in AIS Saigon’s history to achieve a perfect 45-point IB Diploma score, the highest score in the IB Diploma Programme. Quang Khang’s achievement also marks a historic milestone as the first Vietnamese student at AIS Saigon to attain the perfect IB score.
Sadhika Kapoor achieved a perfect 45-point IB Diploma score, becoming one of the first students in AIS Saigon’s history to reach the highest possible IB result. A full boarding scholarship student and Nsouli Scholar, she will continue her journey in Psychology at York University.

Alongside her, Quang Khang distinguished himself through his passion for analytical thinking, problem-solving and leadership. Achieving a perfect 45-point IB score has opened the door to a wide range of opportunities at leading universities, and he is now exploring opportunities in Australia as he looks to further challenge himself academically and broaden his future career pathways.

“Every graduating class leaves its own legacy, and the Class of 2026 will always hold a special place in the history of AIS Saigon. While we are delighted to celebrate our strongest IB results to date, what makes this cohort truly special is the journey behind those achievements.
This year, 111 students graduated from AIS, each following their own path and defining success in their own way. Together, they have created a graduating class that we are incredibly proud of, not only for what they have achieved, but for the people they have become.
We are especially delighted to celebrate Sadhika and Quang Khang, who both achieved a perfect IB score of 45. Their success is exceptional, but it also reflects the many different ways our students discover their strengths, pursue their passions and realise their potential.
For the past twenty years, our focus has remained the same: creating a learning environment where every student feels known, supported and inspired to reach their full potential. As we look ahead, we do so with gratitude to our students, teachers and families, whose partnership continues to shape every generation of AIS learners.”
