Lycée pilote de l'ariana (lpa) email format

The “Lycée Pilote de l'Ariana”, "LPA", formerly called “The Pioneer School of Ariana” is a model high school meant to provide its students with preparation for post-secondary education pathways and transitions available both in Tunisia and overseas. LPA is located in the town of Ariana, off the city of Tunis to the north, about 20 –minute drive from downtown. LPA was founded in 1983. It used to teach the subjects of the national curriculum via the English language. It stopped doing so at the end of the scholar year 1989-1990, in a bid to 'linguistically' equate LPA students with their peers attending mainstream high schools nationwide, who are taught the (same) scientific subjects in the French language. Students used to get in at the age of twelve. At the time, the school had 7 different grades. But following national educational reforms, the secondary education has been split into two parts. LPA is now open to intermediate school graduates (15 and 16-year-olds) who have guaranteed outstanding passage of the end-of-basic- school entrance examination, with an average mark exceeding 16 out of 20, that is. The scholar year is crowned with the Baccalaureate examination. LPA’s school results in this national examination have almost always been the best nationwide, as the rate of success happens to be always 100%, with average marks exceeding 14 out of 20. What’s more, the rate of the students whose average marks are above 16 out of 20 usually reaches no less than 70%. Hence, LPA quickly acquired the status of the most respected high school in the nation. Most of LPA graduates have pursued higher education in prestigious universities, faculties and institutes, both in Tunisia and abroad. Many of them have landed high-ranking jobs and are having a successful career in a good many fields of activity worldwide.
