After nursery school or kindergarten (école maternelle), which is optional, the French compulsoryeducation system is divided into three stages or 'cycles': primary school (école) middle school (collège) high school (lycée)

The baccalauréat often known in France colloquially as bac, is an academic qualification which French students take after high school. It was introduced by Napoleon I in 1808. It is the main diploma required to pursue university studies.

Tanya is the Slavic hypocoristic of Tatiana. It is now quite commonly used as an independent given name in the English-speaking world. Tanya is also of Hebrew origin derived from the Aramaic term meaning 'it was taught in Baraita' which is Biblical teaching. Within Hasidic Judaism this refers to the Oral Torah.

PQP - The past perfect, or pluperfect, is used to indicate an action in the past that occurred before another action in the past.

So an action that occurred before is shown using PQP and then the Passe compose is used to highlight the next action. All actions have occurred in the past. 

The PQP is conjugated as  the imparfait of avoir or etre + past participle of the main verb

• When the auxiliary verb is être, the past participle must agree with the subject
• When the auxiliary verb is avoir, the past participle may have to agree with its direct object

for example, I went for shopping in the morning. (action in past) and before that , I cleaned the house (an action that occurred before, also in the past). 

So, the sentence to highlight both actions can be written as -  J'ai fait du shopping le matin, j'avais deja nettoyé la maison.

.

Imparfait is used to describe an action in the past that was ongoing or habitual. Also to physically decsribe something or someone in the past imparfait is used.

Passé composé is for one time events in the past.

Example 

Nous sommes allés à Paris le mois dernier. Nous avons visité le musée d'Orsay.

Passé compose is used to highlight events that happened once.

Nous nous promenions dans le jardin près de la tour Eiffel chaque jour. La tour Eiffel était magnifique.

Here, imparfait is used to denote habitual action , something we did everyday. Also to describe Eiffel tower during the trip (past) we use imparfait.
