Recommended Posts

At a young age, our students begin to enjoy the pleasure of awakening faith in celebrating all the highlights of the liturgical year with their parents in the kindergarten years and disseminate this happiness in all their Christian families learning always to respect all other religions and to live together.
Knowing that language is at the heart of learning in kindergarten, our students in two sections, English and French, are introduced to trilingualism and learn English, French, and Arabic literature courses by the rhythm of each and through the implementation of government programs: French for French section and American for the English section.
Our strong point is the teaching team where all its members are constantly working to develop their skills and consequently those of the students. The team’s priority is the autonomy and security of the children. What distinguishes it is the affection, and its goal is teaching with professionalism with the desire to stay up-to-date especially with the new technology since all the classes in preschool are equipped with interactive whiteboards and students are doing very well without neglecting all kinds of games, hands-on activities, books or other tools needed for the traditional teaching approach adapted to the present day.
The elementary division consists of classes from Grade 1 to Grade 6. After receiving the fundamentals during the three years of preschool, the elementary grades provide the needed primary education and social skills for students aged between 6 and 11 to continue their learning years and experience in the complementary and secondary divisions with confidence and interest based on acquired concepts and high level of critical thinking and problem-solving.
The objectives of the elementary years are many of which the main focus is to encourage the emergent of self-dependent citizens in the school community and outside, especially globally, with lifetime values, knowledge, and education. The students are coached through a unique teaching-learning curriculum that caters to the needs of multiple and various individuals to maximize their potentials through high academic expectations and personal growth.
A rigorous curriculum in Math, Science, and Language Arts prepares AIS middle school students to be successful at the secondary level. AIS provides an intimate and nurturing environment where a collaborative and caring faculty can focus on each student as an individual. Small to average-sized classes allow regular communication among students, teachers, and parents to assess and assist students’ progress.
AIS students in middle school have seven academic periods each day, including English, Arabic, French, Math, Social studies, and Science. Seventh and eighth graders take hours of BTEC – a new vocational form of learning. The carefully defined Lebanese national curriculum lends an important element of structure to our middle school program.
The philosophy of AIS is to provide diverse curricula that enrich and expand the scope of learning for each student. We strive to provide rigorous coursework that is insightful and creative and provides an environment that encourages critical thinking and creative problem-solving.
One of the most compelling reasons to choose AIS is the academic preparation our students receive for university admission. Young students who choose AIS graduate from our school fully prepared for success at leading universities. Built into our program are individualized university counseling and SAT prep, highlighted by our 10th and 11th grade weekly SAT courses and annual University forum.
AIS students use state-of-the-art technology and equipment in all facets of their education, ranging from laptops to advanced equipment in physics and chemistry labs. They also have access to the Internet through their interactive whiteboards.
Since its foundation in the eighteenth century, the school of the Antonine Order was distinguished by its apostolic dimension, applying itself to introduce God, the absolute truth, to love Him, let His will be done, and adore Him in the truth. This education goes on today with the same enthusiasm and in a more conscious way: it is translated through specialized catechism and animated celebrations. This spiritual rebirth is witnessed by the magazines published by the research center, which are welcomed by children and youngsters who find in Alleluia a religious culture and in Hayatouna El Chabab (Our life as youngsters) a moral orientation whose benefits have been felt by all schools in Lebanon and the East.
If the Christian life spirit is the characteristic of the Antonine School education, in a hostile environment, or an environment living according to its traditions and customs, this does not exclude the fact that the Order’s Schools, wherever located, make sure that their students are taught to respect all other religions and encourage them to deepen any religion, to converse about its main themes, leaving everyone the freedom to practice the religion of his choice.
We work in cooperation with Society, the Church, and the Family to educate the human person as a whole. Our education is based on Christian values, it is impregnated by the Antonine Educative Spirit and it respects the criteria of quality and excellence in its international dimension.
Nowadays, the Maronite Antonine Order includes thirty monasteries and Missions in Italy, France, Belgium, Canada, Australia, Syria, and Turkey. The educational activities of the Antonine Order developed during the last fifty years, which was implemented in two ways of educational action.
The total number of students enrolled reached 1380 for the academic school year 1968-1969. These schools, which relieve the parents of important financial burdens, offer a high level of instruction and culture, as attested by the results of the official examinations, while at the same time granting the educators a large scope of action to exercise the desired spiritual and moral mission, all the more because our society is very demanding towards monks.
