St. Paul's Co-educational College — SPCC — is one of Hong Kong's most decorated schools: a co-educational DSS school on MacDonnell Road in the Mid-Levels, running both the local DSE and the IB Diploma, and topping the territory's IB tables year after year. This profile gathers SPCC's publicly reported 2026 IB results, its recent track record, and how we support SPCC students. For the full territory-wide picture, see our Hong Kong IB results 2026 compilation.

SPCC's 2026 IB results

SPCC's Class of 2026 posted the highest school average in Hong Kong this year — continuing a run at or near the top of the territory's IB tables:

Measure	SPCC 2026	Hong Kong overall
Average Diploma score	42.6	37.02
Students scoring 40+	91.8%	34.8%
Perfect scores of 45	6	65+
IB cohort size	61	2,912 candidates

For context: SPCC averaged 42.1 in both 2025 and 2024, 42.8 in 2022 and 43.3 in 2021 — a sustained standard that very few schools anywhere match. An "average" SPCC IB student sits comfortably inside the offer range of Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and the LSE.

DSE or IB — the SPCC family's first decision

SPCC runs both tracks, and families choose. Broadly: the DSE aligns with the local JUPAS route into Hong Kong universities, while the IB keeps UK, US and international doors widest open — and is the curriculum most of our SPCC families targeting overseas universities take. The choice interacts with subject strengths, language profile and target universities; our IB versus A-Levels guide covers the neighbouring decision, and our consultants advise on this fork every year.

University pathways from SPCC

SPCC graduates head to the world's most selective universities — Oxbridge, the Ivy League and its peers, and Hong Kong's own top programmes. Quantum Prep's Class of 2026 included SPCC students among those heading to Stanford, Chicago, Penn, Cambridge and Northwestern. Because SPCC's cohort is so strong, the differentiator at the top end is rarely the score — it is the profile, the essays and the interview. That is exactly the layer we work on.

How we help SPCC students

Our IB tutors know SPCC's pace and expectations and support students across HL subjects, the IA, the Extended Essay and TOK.
