our school – all of them with university degrees;

8. • As in every general public high school in Poland, education in our school lasts
three years. The school population is made of 16-19 year-old students.
• Within years, III Liceum has become the most popular secondary school in
Konin. One of the biggest evidence of its good reputation is the fact that every
year 100% of our third graders pass the final exams (matriculation exams) and
get accepted to the best universities in Poland. Some of the graduates go to
study abroad.
• In the school year of 2011/12, III Liceum achieved the best score in the final
exams results in Konin and took the 14th position in the Wielkopolska Region
ranking of Best Schools in the Province.
• In September 2012 - 9 instead of typical 7 first grade classes were opened,
which made it the biggest number of first graders in the city. Thanks to it, our
school had the honour and pleasure to hold the 2012/13 City School Year
Opening celebration.
Certainly, it was a significant credit given to the III Liceum by the Local
Authorities.
