Vietnam's leading full-continuum IB World School outperforms global benchmarks across every headline measure, with 64% of graduates earning the IB Bilingual Diploma
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) today announced the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme results for its Class of 2026. The cohort of 116 graduates achieved an average score of 34.5 points against a global average of 30.9, with two students earning the maximum score of 45 out of 45.
The school recorded a 95% diploma pass rate, compared with the global average of 83%. Almost 10% of the cohort scored 40 points or above.
Class of 2026 results at a glance
- Two students achieved a perfect score of 45 out of 45
- Cohort average of 34.5 points, against a global average of 30.9
- 95% diploma pass rate, against a global average of 83%
- 64% of graduates earned the IB Bilingual Diploma, more than double the global rate of 27%
- Eight students, almost 10% of the cohort, achieved 40 points or more
- Over 40% of students achieved 35 points or higher
- 85% of students achieved at least 30 points
The bilingual result is a standout. At 64%, ISHCMC's Bilingual Diploma rate is more than double the global figure and reflects a community of over 25 nationalities in which learning across languages is standard practice rather than an add-on.
"These results reflect more than academic achievement. They are a testament to the dedication, resilience, and growth of our students, supported by the teachers, families, and community who have shaped their journey. We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026 and the legacy they carry forward," said Mr. Marco Longmore, Head of School at ISHCMC.
A full IB-continuum journey
ISHCMC offers a connected IB continuum education from Early Explorers through Grade 12. Many members of the Class of 2026 have grown and learned within our community for years, developing the skills, confidence, and approaches to learning needed to thrive in the Diploma Programme. Through experiences such as the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), students deepen their knowledge and grow as independent, thoughtful learners. Supported by dedicated educators, advisors, and university counselors, each student follows a personalized pathway that prepares them to succeed at leading universities and beyond.

ISHCMC Class of 2026 Records Two Perfect IB Scores and a Cohort Average of 34.5
- Company showcases a vector-search accelerator card powered by its newly unveiled VDPU chip and invites global storage partners to explore product integration and joint commercialization
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dnotitia Inc. (Dnotitia), an AI data infrastructure and semiconductor company, today announced that its Seahorse AI Storage has won the AI Application Award at the FMS 2026 Best of Show Awards. Dnotitia was also named a finalist in the Startup Business Growth Award category.
The winning entry presented Seahorse AI Storage as an AI-native storage platform for reliable, on-premises enterprise retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It addresses a practical challenge facing enterprise AI by transforming proprietary structured and unstructured data, including documents, into searchable, traceable knowledge while keeping sensitive information under the organization's control.
Future of Memory and Storage is a leading global conference for the memory, enterprise storage, semiconductor, data center and AI infrastructure industries. According to the event organizers, FMS 2026 is expected to bring together more than 3,500 attendees from over 1,500 organizations and more than 100 exhibitors.
Dnotitia is showcasing the award-winning Seahorse AI Storage alongside a vector-search accelerator card powered by its newly unveiled VDPU chip at Booth 1144. The exhibit demonstrates how Seahorse software and VDPU acceleration can add AI-native retrieval and knowledge capabilities to enterprise storage products.
As enterprises move RAG and AI-agent services into production, demand is growing for storage systems that can prepare, index and serve enterprise knowledge. This creates an opportunity to add AI-native retrieval and knowledge capabilities to existing enterprise storage products.
Seahorse AI Storage brings document processing, knowledge management, vector retrieval, and AI-service integration into a unified platform. It analyzes document structures such as layouts, tables, charts and contextual relationships, and combines semantic search with methods designed to locate specific terms, figures and clauses. Retrieved information can be linked to its original source, enabling users to verify the evidence behind an AI-generated response.
The platform supports cloud deployment as well as on-premises and air-gapped environments, where data security, control and traceability are critical. Unlike a standalone vector database, Seahorse integrates the processes required to prepare, synchronize, retrieve and serve enterprise knowledge, reducing the number of separate systems customers must build and operate.
Dnotitia's VDPU, or Vector Data Processing Unit, is a purpose-built processor for vector search and graph traversal. By processing vector operations closer to stored data, the VDPU is designed to reduce host CPU workload and unnecessary data movement. Dnotitia develops the processor together with its Seahorse vector database and storage software through hardware-software co-design.
At FMS 2026, Dnotitia is publicly unveiling its first VDPU chip, integrated into a vector-search accelerator card. The company is seeking collaboration with global storage vendors and AI infrastructure partners in product integration, jointly developed AI storage systems, enterprise proof-of-concept (PoC) projects and joint commercialization.
"AI bottlenecks are expanding beyond computing performance to data storage and retrieval," said MK Chung, CEO of Dnotitia. "In the AI era, storage is evolving beyond simply retaining data to helping AI find the right information accurately and quickly based on meaning. This award validates Seahorse AI Storage's ability to meet these requirements."
Dnotitia's selection as a Startup Business Growth Award finalist recognizes the company's progress in advancing its VDPU and Seahorse technology stack, semiconductor development and global enterprise engagements.
Dnotitia will exhibit at Booth 1144 at FMS 2026 through Aug. 6. Storage vendors and AI infrastructure partners are invited to meet the company to discuss product integration, joint solution development and enterprise PoC opportunities.
