This year’s Baccalauréat results are exceptional. In addition to a 97% success rate across all programmes, more than 80% of pupils in Monaco earned special mentions from examiners for their efforts. 

The Baccalauréat, colloquially called the bac, is the national French academic qualification that students typically obtain upon completion of their secondary education at the lycée. 

Monaco’s graduating students have excelled during the 2024 exam period, with an overall success rate of 97% and mentions to 81.1% of pupils. On top of these achievements, 22.6% of the students earned the top ‘Très Bien’ status, meaning very good marks.  

Broken down by programme, the general series exam takers at Albert Ier and Lycée François d’Assise-Nicolas Barré secured a 98% pass rate, with 88.7% receiving honours. 75 students were rewarded with very good honours, 11 of which were given a special mention by the examining body. 

100% of those taking the technological series exams in Monaco passed, with more than half of the students receiving special mentions. 

The professional series students at Lycée Rainier III recorded a 91.2% pass rate, with 72.6% getting mentions.

 

In an official communiqué released following the publication of the Baccalauréat results, the Monaco Government commended its students on “their involvement and sustained work, which made it possible to obtain these excellent results”. 

The government also thanked teaching and non-teaching staff at the schools for their support in making these impressive results a reality.
