Since 1997, the year the first class graduated from the College, approximately 1,900 students have earned American College diplomas.  The College has regained the reputation it held in the 1930s as one of the premier secondary schools in the Balkans and its graduates are now eagerly recruited by prestigious universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and throughout Europe.
