1497 IGCSE examinations, an average of over 10 per student. The average point score per student (MPS) was 6.07 and 10 students gained 10 or more A*-A grades. In 2019, the school entered 97 students for the IB Diploma with a choice of study from 41 different subjects and levels. This was both our largest-ever student entry and our largest-ever offering of courses. The average point score of 33.14 is above average for results obtained at the school since the Diploma was introduced and is nearly 5 points above the world average of 28.48. Markham has long held the South American record for the best IB results. All the examination results are transparent and can be found published on Markham's website. Uniform Tradition plays an important part in Markham College, and is represented by the uniforms that the students wear. In the summer months, a white polo shirt with beige shorts or skirts and sneakers is the norm. In winter, students adopt a more formal style of dress which consists of brown shoes, beige trousers or skirts, brown belts, white shirts or blouses, and a brown and gold jumper. There is also a separate P.E. uniform. Sixth form students are required to wear a formal suit or a blazer in the winter. The use of a tie is not compulsory although it is required during formal activities and events. HELIX programme Markham College offers its unique HELIX programme which values all aspects of students' development (and not focus solely on academics); provides opportunities to experiment and apply their learning; gives opportunities to develop their leadership skills; helps develop an awareness of the student's place in the world as well as help them find their passion. The HELIX programme includes intercultural experiences which encourage the celebration and promotion of the student body's diversity and identity. The Outdoor programme, part of HELIX, promotes students' development through a personal challenge; encourages service to others; and helps develop initiative, leadership and teamwork. The school's broad extracurricular activities are also part of this programme, which is available throughout all three sections of the school (Early Years, Lower School and Upper School). Notable alumni Markham College alumni are organised through the Old Markhamian Association (OMA), and include: Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Godard - former President of Peru.
