THE BACCALAURÉAT<br />
The baccalauréat , or colloquially<br />
“le bac,” is an academic<br />
qualification which French and<br />
international students take at the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> the secondary education. It<br />
was introduced by Napoleon I in<br />
1808 and is the main diploma<br />
required to pursue university<br />
studies.<br />
In the four years that FASNY has<br />
graduated a graduating class, 105-<br />
students have been seated for le<br />
bac, 100% percent have passed,<br />
and 95% have passed with honors –<br />
thus placing FASNY at the top <strong>of</strong><br />
“établissements homologués in the<br />
United States<br />
97% OF GRADUATING SENIORS PASS LE BAC WITH HONORS<br />
We are delighted to announce the outstanding results the FASNY<br />
Class <strong>of</strong> 2012 achieved on the French baccalauréat examination.<br />
Of the 35 students who took le bac, 34 passed with honors: 9 with<br />
Mention Assez Bien, 12 with Mention Bien, and 13 with Mention<br />
Très Bien.<br />
This performance once again places FASNY at the top <strong>of</strong><br />
“établissements homologués” in the United States with 97% <strong>of</strong> all<br />
students seated for le bac passing with honors.<br />
Congratulations to our wonderful Class <strong>of</strong> 2012, their parents, and the<br />
entire faculty and staff who guided our students to these impressive<br />
results yet another year!<br />
