IB PYP graduates often stand out in elementary and secondary school applications due to their comprehensive educational background, especially when applying to top-quality international schools offering IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). One of the most direct benefits of IB education is its diverse pathways to higher education. With high international recognition, most prestigious schools in countries like the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada view IBDP scores as entry standards. IB students can also consider local universities in Hong Kong through Non-JUPAS applications or increasingly in top Chinese universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University.
