AbiBac

The AbiBac logo was developed by students of the Lycée Georges-Clémenceau de Montpellier and the Wentzinger-Gymnasium Freiburg in 2013.[1]

The AbiBac is a French-German high school diploma offered in schools in France and Germany. It is the oldest of three bi-national high school programmes (sections binationales) introduced by the French state, the others being EsaBac (French-Italian) and BachiBac (French-Spanish).[2] The AbiBac was created by a French-German agreement on 31 May 1994.[3][4]
