Lycée Polyvalent Victor Anicet

What Lycée Polyvalent Victor Anicet does

Lycée Polyvalent Victor Anicet is a public secondary and higher-education institution under the French Education Nationale, located in Saint-Pierre, Martinique. Originally founded in 1977 as a Centre de Formation Professionnel Pour Adultes (CFPPA) and renamed in 2017 after Martinican designer Victor Anicet, it holds the 'Lycée des Métiers' designation (granted 2021) for Arts Appliqués, Design, et Communication Multimédia. The institution delivers a vertical training pathway spanning vocational certification (CAP Signalétique et Décors Graphiques), professional baccalaureates (BAC Pro Communication Visuelle et PluriMédia, BAC Pro Marchandisage Visuel), a BMA Arts Graphiques option Signalétique, a general/technological baccalaureate (BAC Général/STD2A), and two Licence-level DN MADE programs (Espace and Graphisme). Operations are supported by Mac/PC computer labs with Adobe Suite, 3D printers, plotters, and a Centre Ressource specialized in art and design (matériauthéque, exhibition space, model workshop, artist residency).

The institution is financed through French government allocations with no tuition charged to students; ancillary revenue (or rather, supplementary funding) comes from the apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage), optional boarding fees at the 80-place internat located on the Schoelcher campus, and partnership-based project work with regional bodies such as the Collectivité Territoriale de Martinique. Customer-facing segments are primarily students from Martinique and the broader Caribbean region pursuing applied arts and design careers, with secondary segments including working apprentices, families/parents, and adult learners in continuing education. Distribution occurs via the national Parcoursup platform (for DN MADE admissions), standard Acad\u00e9mie de Martinique registration for secondary levels, and the CFA Académie Martinique apprenticeship center.

Recent strategic emphasis has been on expanding the international dimension through Erasmus+ mobility and developing university partnerships (Université des Antilles, with Guatemala and Canadian university partnerships under consideration), while deepening the local professional ecosystem through collaborations with the Ordre des Architectes de Martinique, Maison de l'Architecture de Martinique, and CAUE Martinique via the MATJOUKANN architecture festival. The school is led by Proviseur Daniel Raphaël Nisas and was recognized as the 1st-ranked professional high school in Martinique for 2026 by L'Étudiant, in addition to receiving the Label Égalité filles-garçons Niveau 1 'Engagement' from the Education Nationale in 2026.
