Page "Lycée Henri-IV" Paragraph 5

Admissions at Henri IV are very competitive.

Prospective students are selected based on grades.

Students may come from middle schools throughout France.

This cosmopolitan philosophy enables the school to have a large and strong range of cultural values.

The education is highly rated and the conditions of work are optimal due to the diverse qualities of the teachers.

Henri IV students generally achieve high marks and results for the baccalauréat, with a pass rate of 100 % in most years, against a national pass rate of about 80 %.

The Concours général ( national competition for brilliant students ) and the examinations to enter the grandes écoles are considered more difficult.

Overall, Henri IV provides a high level education due to its rigorous selection process and the quality of its teachers.
