Dear students, dear parents, dear alumni,
Since its founding in 1983, when it opened its doors as a pioneering school where the sciences were taught in English, the Lycée Pilote de l'Ariana has remained a home for excellence and hard work. Generations of students and teachers have passed through it, and its graduates have made their way to the finest universities and into science, engineering, medicine and the arts, in Tunisia and abroad, each of them carrying something of the spirit of this place.
I have known this school for decades, first as a teacher of Arabic and then in its administration, before I had the honour of taking on its leadership in 2024. These years have taught me that a school's worth is not measured by results alone, important as they are, but by what it instils in its students: intellectual curiosity, a sense of responsibility, and solidarity.
Today, as we open the 2026–2027 school year, we want to strengthen the bridge between the generations of LPA. That is why we are calling for an ambassador for every graduating class of alumni and for every year group of students, so that the bond endures and experience passes from one generation to the next, like a torch handed on. To our alumni I say: the school's doors are open to you, and today's students need your experience and your advice.
To our students: work hard and persevere, and know that you carry forward a history you can be proud of, and that is proud of you. To parents: thank you for your trust; we are partners in a single mission.
Welcome to the Lycée Pilote de l'Ariana.
