This fall, Louverture Cleary students from the Philo (US 12th grade +1) and Katryèm (US 9th grade) classes sat for their respective state exams, a success in itself given the COVID-19 pandemic and political unrest challenging the nation.
Passing the Philo Baccalaureate Exam will allow the graduates of the Class of 2020 to gain admission to university, and the Katryèm state exam allows students to progress from the Fondamentale curriculum to Twayzèm (US 10th grade), the beginning of the Secondaire curriculum and their final four years at LCS.
We just received the results, and we are thrilled to report a 100 percent pass rate for both the Philo Baccalaureate and Katryèm state exams!
With these results, LCS celebrates the continued tradition of success it has come to be known for in Haiti.
Patrick B., Haitian private sector leader and head of THP’s partner foundations in Haiti, reflects on the perfect results:
Despite a very difficult year, during which LCS students were repeatedly distracted by the confusion of unrest, the fears and restrictions that came with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the uncertainty of knowing whether official exams would even be programmed, LCS is proud to confirm a 100 percent pass rate for the Katryèm and Philo 2020 national exams. Once again, the focus and determination of each and every one of our Louverturians has been remarkable.
