A ninth grade was added in 1982 and a tenth grade in 1993. Eleventh and twelfth grade were added in 1995 and 1996 respectively with the first graduating class being the class of June 1997.〔(ACST - About ACST )〕 The school's enrollment increased dramatically following the temporary relocation of the African Development Bank from its headquarters in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire to Tunis, Tunisia in 2003〔(AFDB Timeline )〕 Following attacks on the nearby US Embassy, protesters torched the school building containing the Elementary School Library on September 14, 2012. Fire and smoke damage spread to 12 adjoining classrooms rendering them unsafe. The entire block was condemned. The remainder of the campus was ransacked and looted for several hours resulting in over $5.5 million in estimated damages and loss. However, the school commenced within a few days and is now back and flourishing better than ever, thanks to rebuilding efforts from the many countries and persons involved. 〔 http://www.tunisia-live.net/2013/05/10/eight-months-after-embassy-attack-u-s-remains-cautious-in-tunisia/ 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Cooperative School of Tunis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
