High School
Welcome to the high school at the American Cooperative School of Tunis. In our high school, and in all areas at ACST, we place high value on our partnership with parents, families, and the community and we invite you to be an active part of helping your students achieve their full potential.
We have high expectations of our high school students, and we have high expectations of ourselves to help them learn and grow into well-rounded citizens and critical thinkers. Through our academic program, culminating in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in 11th and 12th grade, and combined with robust extra-curricular options, high school students have many opportunities to explore subjects and activities with breadth and depth. ACST aims to develop leadership skills, social and emotional skills, and academic skills to prepare students for success not only in high school but also in higher education, career, relationships, and life-long learning. We hope that ACST students will view themselves as learners and thinkers. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are as important as content knowledge.
Students need both high challenge and high support to grow as learners, and we look forward to helping students maximize their growth at ACST.

Opening Minds
At ACST, our learning is increasingly based on inquiry, where students take an active, rather than a passive role. Instead of the traditional model of a student as an empty vessel needing to be filled with knowledge, we are moving towards putting the student in the driver’s seat as he or she leads the learning.
High School at ACST
At ACST, our high school program combines rigorous academics, including the IB Diploma Programme, with a wide range of extracurricular activities to help students grow as critical thinkers, leaders, and engaged citizens. We prioritize a strong partnership with families and the community to support students in reaching their full potential and preparing for success in higher education and beyond.
As a French family with two teenagers, we are all four very pleased to have chosen ACST.
It is a quality school with a good education system offering an IB program. It has a very nice international community and a great environment. We will definitely recommend ACST to new comers in the future.Christine C, Proud ACST Parent
