Eleven young players from the AS Monaco training centre were honoured at La Diagonale on 15 October for passing their baccalaureate.
Eleven footballers from the AS Monaco training centre gathered at La Diagonale on Thursday 15 October to receive their baccalaureate diplomas, marking a 95% pass rate for this year's cohort. The ceremony brought together academy staff, families and club officials to recognise students who balanced match schedules and training sessions with their final school exams.
The result reflects a long-standing emphasis within the club's youth setup on academic achievement alongside sporting development. Players at the Monaco academy follow a dual programme that combines football training with schooling, with La Diagonale serving as the hub for both education and residential life for many young recruits.
For families considering the academy as a pathway for their children, the figures offer reassurance that a professional football track record does not come at the expense of formal qualifications, a point AS Monaco has increasingly highlighted as part of its recruitment pitch to parents across the region and beyond.
