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 />
