Graduating class of 2026 - a celebration to remember!

On Friday 26 June, we proudly celebrated the achievements of the Class of 2026! 

Graduates from both the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) pathways came together for an evening of celebration, reflection and excitement for the future. This year's ceremony was particularly meaningful as part of the school's 10th anniversary celebrations, with almost one third of the graduating class having been part of the school since its foundation.

The evening recognised not only the students' academic achievements but also the friendships and sense of community they have built during their time at Jeannine Manuel School. Warm words from school leaders and students reflected on the journey they had shared before graduates received their certificates to enthusiastic applause from family and friends.

The celebrations continued with a drinks reception in the sunshine, giving students, families and staff the opportunity to mark the occasion together before the Class of 2026 embarks on its next adventure.

This exceptional cohort now heads to leading universities around the world. More than one in three graduates has received an offer from a university ranked among the world's Top 10, while many others will join highly selective international and dual-degree programmes across Europe, North America and beyond.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We wish all our graduates every success and look forward to welcoming them back as alumni.

We hope you enjoy watching this short video which captures the celebration and reveals the one word a few of our students chose to describe the school.
