In a hall shimmering with celebration and excellence, the British Council’s Partner Schools Awards Night in Accra became the stage for one of the most remarkable academic victories of the year for Lycée Français International Jacques Prévert d’Accra (LFIA) – a school that has quietly but steadily carved out its place as a force in international education in Ghana.
LFIA was crowned the Best School for IGCSE English as a Second Language, a recognition of its outstanding results and unwavering commitment to academic rigor. This was no ordinary accolade; it was the culmination of years of focused teaching, tailored support, and a multicultural learning ethos that sets LFIA apart.
But that wasn’t all.
Two students from the school, Dayila Alexis and Emma Deytieux, were also honoured with individual awards for exceptional performance in the IGCSE ESL exam. In a category where precision, critical thinking, and linguistic finesse are tested at the highest level, these young learners demonstrated not only competence but excellence.
“It was an emotional moment,” said one of the teachers. “You don’t always see your daily efforts play out on such a grand stage – but this night, we did.”
Leading the team behind this success is Dr. (Mrs.) Patricia Amarteifio, who leads the IGCSE teaching team at LFIA. Known for her strategic teaching models and nurturing leadership, she has been instrumental in raising the school’s IGCSE standards to globally competitive levels.
Celebrating academic milestones beyond IGCSE
And just when the applause for IGCSE success began to taper, LFIA’s BAC (Baccalauréat) results hit the headlines – with a 100% success rate for the 2024 session, one of the few schools in the West and Central African region to achieve this milestone.
“We are proud, not just because of the awards, but because they reflect our deep commitment to academic excellence, cultural diversity, and personal growth. This recognition by the British Council and our BAC results are testaments to the global-standard education we offer at LFIA,” said Mrs Catherine DAUER, the Principal.
But perhaps the most compelling testament to LFIA’s success is what happens after graduation. LFIA alumni gain admission into prestigious universities around the world, spanning The United States of America, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Africa. They pursue a wide range of disciplines – from medicine, engineering, and architecture to the arts, business, political science, and international law – reflecting the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded, globally prepared individuals.
With eyes set on the future, LFIA is proving that a French international education – rooted in excellence and openness – can shape some of the brightest minds on Ghanaian soil, regardless of their nationality.
