A few weeks ago, we announced that our two French Baccalaureat graduates had passed their exams with honors (‘mention bien’).  A week later we found out that the entire 9^th grade class passed their Brevet exams…. 27 students in all!  Of these, the majority passed with honors: 2 received ‘tres bien’, 9 ‘bien’ and 11 ‘assez bien’. This is both exciting and relevant because LILA presents all 9^th graders no matter how long they have been studying French.

Over the past  4^th of July weekend we received the IB results. We are honored to announce that 17 of LILA’s seniors passed all their exams attempted (15 full bilingual diplomas and 2 certificate candidates) giving LILA a 94% pass rate for 2009.  More than ½ of the IB full diploma candidates received a score of 30 or better, and most will be able to convert some scores for college credit depending on their chosen college’s policies.  We will announce where the graduating class will be going in the fall in an upcoming alumni update.

All the graduating students and their families have much to be proud of.  We congratulate each of them for their many, many achievements – academic, athletic, artistic, and musical – throughout their tenure at LILA, especially in this, their senior year. We also thank our teaching staff for their dedication and support to help our students be successful.

Thank you for the great memories!
