The National Evangelical Institute for Girls and Boys has long been recognized as one of the leading, non-profit schools in Lebanon. We are proud of this School’s glorious history and of the legacy it has built-in Lebanon for the past 156 years. If admission to this School is your aim, we look forward to welcoming you soon to our community of learners. The National Evangelical Institute for Girls and Boys is a student-centered school where the focus is on learning it is a school where the feeling of community is real, and where children learn and develop in a friendly, nurturing, creative and safe environment, supported by highly qualified and dedicated faculty and staff. National Evangelical Institute for Girls & Boys prepares students to become positive and active global citizens by fostering educational excellence, promoting a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and stressing the moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of each student. NEIGB is a school community where learning is: Student-centered. Technology-driven. Data and evidence-based. Engaging and team-oriented. Extended beyond school walls. Creative, challenging, and empowering. Sustained by value-driven practices. Core Values (RICH) Responsibility. Integrity. Compassion. Honesty. Global competitiveness is what National Evangelical Institute for Girls and Boys (NEIGB) is all about. Not only does the school seek to attain excellence in education, but it also seeks to enrich its students’ cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills and to thoroughly pursue their development and growth. The school offers top-quality educational programs to students of different backgrounds. It also addresses various learning styles by developing students’ academic aptitudes, social skills, and character building. Besides, the multi-cultural school community contributes to the cultivation of this awareness. NEIGB offers two educational systems: The Lebanese system leading to the official Secondary III Baccalaureate and BT3 certificates, and The American system, leading to the completion of the 12th-grade program of study and issuance of the high school diploma. The American High School curriculum is based on the “American Core Curriculum”, which leads to admission to both private Lebanese universities and/or colleges and universities abroad. MAP is used in Cycles I and II to measure students’ academic progress, while TOEFL and SAT are taught and utilized at the secondary level to prepare students for college and university admission. The School also supports students who find it hard to manage the core requirements by offering students with special needs a sub-curriculum that allows them to cope with the main curriculum fundamentals. The School’s teaching philosophy revolves around the principle of active learning. This empowers our students who are enrolled in the American System to experience countless skills and to invest their knowledge in life issues. Our teachers utilize teaching material and subjects vertically and horizontally, using different means to engage learners verbally, individually, via research projects, community service, and group work. In 2012, National Evangelical Institute for Girls and Boys celebrated the School’s 150th anniversary of its foundation in 1862 as one of the oldest educational institutions in the region. This great success story can be traced to the vision of the early American founders of Sidon Evangelical School for Girls and Gerard Institute for Boys. The Sidon Evangelical School for Girls (SESG) played a pioneering role in the education of women in the Middle East. The School started in a single house in old Sidon in 1862 before relocating in 1924 to its current and beautiful campus in the Greater Sidon City suburban town of Al Hara. The campus’s new construction included independent buildings and cottages. The buildings housed classrooms, an assembly area, a modern kitchen, a library, a sewing room, and laboratories. At that time, the school adopted Home Economics and Children Care curricula to prepare girls to become mothers and housewives. The cottages provided a caring family environment where girls lived under the guidance of caring and loving cottage mothers. Parallel to the founding of the Sidon School for Girls, a school for boys was also founded by the early missionaries in a leased house in 1881. Despite numerous challenges and governmental regulations, American missionaries Rev. William Eddy and Dr. George Ford successfully led the march to establish the school which has become one of the educational pillars in the city of Sidon. In 1884, the School moved to its new location in the Greater Sidon suburban town of Miyeh w Miyeh and was named Gerard Institute. By 1904, Gerard Institute had become a pioneering school that offered both academic and technical training. The academic division offered regular courses under the direction of Dr. Ford, while the technical division offered training in carpentry, blacksmithing, sewing, shoemaking, and construction, and was directed by Rev. William Eddy. Hence, the Arabic name of the school “Madrasat Al Fonoon”, which means “the School of Arts”, became the institution’s new name in Arabic. Sidon Evangelical School for Girls and Gerard Institute for Boys were merged into one school in 1985 under the new name of National Evangelical Institute for Girls and Boys (NEIGB). Yet more than 150 years later, the School’s founding ideal remains the same. It lives in every classroom and is endorsed by teachers, staff, and administrators whose only drive is to prepare students for a world in need of intelligent, responsible, enthusiastic, honest, and compassionate leaders.

Welcome to the Mesrobian High School. Mesrobian Armenian Catholic High School, along with the technical college, is a Lebanese Armenian and Armenian Catholic Patriarchal school from nursery to Second Baccalaureate class. The school aims at developing the pupils’ personalities holistically and harmoniously allowing them to nurture their potentials for self-realization in an atmosphere of trust and self-confidence. It provides the proper context for acquiring religious, moral, and Lebanese-Armenian cultural values, which will enable the students to become truthful, faithful, and lawful citizens, and active members of the society and the Armenian community. Through its educational program, the Mesrobian School aims to build the personality of children and adolescents in line with the spirit of harmonious cohesion, helping those who develop and implement their autonomy in a cooperative and self-confident atmosphere. Our kindergarten's mission is to provide academic excellence to all students, while the nursery provides child care services to children between the ages of two and three. For this purpose, the teaching curriculum and the informative programs are prepared to provide an experience that stimulates learning in a supportive environment that will satisfy the needs of the children and give individual attention to each of them. The preschool program is prepared to help the children acquire a variety of fundamental knowledge skills and a positive attitude towards learning. Children will also begin to develop their abilities and talents in different domains. The Teachers, the kindergarteners, the community members, and the families work together to provide a constructive and coherent learning experience that increases the child's confidence and encourages him/her to find that learning is both important and wonderful. The preschool program builds a firm intellectual, physical, and social base, vital for the child's future. The religious program that starts in kindergarten uses resources that support the child in all aspects of life. In the Small Section (PS), the child learns to communicate in Armenian and in French through the use of visual media. In addition, Arabic is taught. The curriculum includes the following classes: Christian education, pre-mathematics, rhythm, socialization, handicrafts, and school excursions. In the Middle section (MS), children are comfortable because they are accustomed to the methodology applied in the small section. Children begin to learn the alphabet. They also start to work more independently. They also participate in group work. In addition, the number of Arabic courses has increased. In the large Section (GS), children learn to read and write in three languages (Armenian, French, and Arabic). Their communication skills are improved. Children also master simple numbers and learn how to add. Homework and tests are done regularly to ensure continuous improvement. The primary school is committed to placing each child in the best position to succeed socially, emotionally, and academically. This is accomplished by providing a humane and Christian environment that actively involves parents and the community who support the teachers and concentrate on the students' success. In such a friendly environment, students become competent and independent learners for life. They will grow up to become responsible citizens with positive social skills, good self-esteem, and awareness of their roles in the community. In EB1 class (Grade 1) through activities, group work, and projects, children improve their reading, writing, and oral communication skills in three main languages (Arabic, Armenian and French). It is in the first year that the child starts to attend computer and science courses for the first time. He/she also follows the courses of civic instruction, music, mathematics, and Christian Education. Because of the same applied methodology and because the subjects taught are the same as those of the EB1 class, the children prepare to make a very gradual transition from the class of EB1 to the class of EB2. They learn to work independently and share ideas two by two and in group work. All children participate in school excursions, exhibitions, and activities that push children to learn. The EB3 class is the year where children celebrate their first Holy Communion. Celebrations and various other activities prepare them for this event. Academically, a student of this class must master all the basic concepts in mathematics, learn to think critically in science, and acquire the basic skills in three languages. Like their classmates from the EB1 and EB2 classes, children participate in activities, exhibitions, games, concerts, and school excursions. These activities prepare the child to pass the classes of EB4, EB5, and EB6. In line with the general objectives of the College Mesrobian, the college aims to develop the critical thinking of the students and to facilitate the gradual transition from childhood to adolescence through a balanced school curriculum. At the end of the college years, students are ready to take their first official exam and start thinking about their university studies and future career options. The main objective of the secondary cycle is to help all students become mature young adults in all aspects of their lives: spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and academic. The college tries to ensure the success of the students in the official exams and entrance exams at the university, through a qualified faculty and a very dynamic program. Consistent with the national curriculum, the teaching profession uses cooperative and interactive learning methods. Students apply their knowledge through scientific, empiric, deductive processes such as lab experience sessions and presentations. Students learn about the sciences and the humanities and are guided to choose the path that suits them the most. The choice between the sciences and the humanities depends on the talents, potentials, and learning abilities of the students, as well as the requirements of the higher education field that they want to pursue. Students in this class come to a deeper understanding of knowledge, gained through active participation in the high school learning process. Interactive lessons are supported by experimental observation or detailed research. Therefore, students use a deeper level of learning through analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Critical thinking is given priority and various evaluation techniques are used to help all students improve their learning abilities. In addition, students are prepared, through self-evaluation and orientation sessions, to choose the most suitable classes for their last year. This is the year where students finish their studies at the college. Students try to make a name for themselves at school through direct participation in decisions related to daily life at Mesrobian High School. Academically, they are implored to prepare to face two important challenges: first, to continue their studies at the college, and secondly to pass the official exam. The baccalaureate holders of the Mesrobian High School are admitted to the universities known in Lebanon and abroad. At the same time, our students' success rate at the official exam has always been remarkable. View full school

The heart of the ACS education is not, however, our programs or the campus it is the relationship between our faculty and students and the bond they establish as they engage in learning.

CTI is dedicated to the service of the education of youth, through the academic, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing of its students. CTI offers students a challenging curriculum to meet the demands of society. CTI students are prepared to excel, develop leadership skills, and eventually become active, responsible citizens. CTI emphasizes academic excellence, character building, cultural awareness, and critical thinking. The CTI vision is for students to leave school with profound spiritual values, a solid academic foundation, wide cultural knowledge, and noteworthy leadership skills. CTI fosters a high level of education, creativity, critical thinking, self-esteem, and Godliness. CTI aims to produce men and women with high goals, and a sense of civic and moral responsibility. The Christian Teaching Institute (CTI) is a private educational organization that was founded by Mr. Emile Moacdieh in 1960. Mr. Moacdieh had a vision of a school that offers a solid education in mathematics, the sciences, the languages, and the humanities, but that is also strongly grounded in the Christian faith. His vision was to provide students excellence in moral upbringing, culture, and the liberal arts. Our Kindergarten program is a hands-on program with a focus on discovery, awareness, language instruction, mathematical concepts, and social skills. The students study three languages, English French and Arabic. The curriculum is eclectic, based on American, French, and local Lebanese. Science is offered in English, with American - curricula. Currently, we are using ebooks in most of our elementary programs. Science is supplemented by lab sessions. Mathematics is also offered in English and it tends to be advanced American and/or Lebanese programs. French is in coordination with the French Cultural Center, and we prepare our students for the DELF in the intermediate classes. The Arabic language follows what we believe to be the best offered locally, with special Arabic provisions for non-Lebanese students. Our curriculum also includes Bible, drama, art, music, and more. These classes prepare students for college and the official terminal exams. The program is accelerated Lebanese, with emphasis on mathematics, the sciences, and the three languages. There are also lots of co-curricular subjects, involving cultural studies, drama, lab, Bible, philosophy, and more. There are special HS programs for non– Lebanese students. Our students sit for the official governmental exams (Lebanese students only), the SAT exams, and special DELF French exams in coordination with the French Cultural Center. Most activities at the CTI are included in the mainstream curriculum. Thus students get to act in drama productions, or work in the lab, or get involved in sports tournaments, or use the computers, or peruse books in the library, or join competitions, or give free rein to creative output. There are also clubs and teams that students can join. Extracurricular activities are many, involving sports, scouts, artistic activities, special projects, and more. We even organize yearly school trips for our students to Europe. At the beginning of the school year, parents will be informed of the offerings currently available for the year. Students have the choice of many activities after school hours. By the 1970s the school had outgrown its premises. In 1970 a new school was built in Horsh Tabet, Sin el Fil, in what was then a completely woodland area. At that time, the school consisted of two inter-connecting blocks. The third block was built in the 1980s. The second half of the 1970’s decade witnessed the beginning of a difficult time for the Lebanese, due to a painful civil war. By God’s grace, the school went on with its mission. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, we are happy that our students practically all pass the official exams, they get excellent grades in SATs and the DELF, and they are accepted to their universities of choice. The school is “a busy school”, as one visiting professor commented, and there are always educational activities, events, and projects accompanying learning. Do not let disappointment lead to failure. Our great Gibran Khalil Gibran once prepared for four years for a major painting exhibition. He rented a special gallery for that purpose and displayed his four years of work there. Before the opening, there was a fire in the gallery. It burned down and Gibran’s paintings were all gone. Instead of dejection and loss of hope, Gibran declared that he would paint other paintings that were even better. A few years later his exhibition was held. Faith. Patience. Persistence. Keep these in mind and victory will be yours. “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen practice these things and the God of peace shall be with you. View full school

CHS, located in the heart of Beirut, has a long history of academic excellence. Throughout its 90 years of service to the Armenian/Lebanese community, CHS has consistently met the educational needs of its students in the deepest way possible. The commitment and dedication of our educators, board members, sponsoring church, and parents have made this rich heritage possible. With God’s help and building on the heritage of the past, we will make sure that the school continues to use its resources and potential to enrich the lives of our students, hoping that they will all achieve their best through fostering self-discipline, helping them develop Christian values, and encouraging a love for learning. Education serves no purpose when it does not make the heart kinder, and knowledge has no credibility when it does not make one wiser. Lebanon, with its long history of political turmoil, needs an Armenian generation that perceives itself as an instrument of peace. Based on the mission and history of the Armenian Evangelical Church, the goal of the Armenian Evangelical Central High School is to equip students with a quality Christian Armenian Education, adhering to the governmental curriculum, in addition to maintaining the orientation set by the Armenian Evangelical Educational Council. The aforementioned goal has three characteristics: Quality Education - Aims to educate the whole person, preparing the student to attain the highest possible educational level or the alternative of a technical career. Armenian Identity - Provides a national ethnic education at all teaching levels, through the teaching of the Armenian language, literature, history, and cultural programs. Armenian Evangelical Heritage - Above all, invites the student to know God through the Lord Jesus Christ. CHS kindergarten has a specific agenda and a well-planned vision, based on modern educational strategies, which specially focuses on the “Child-Centered Approach,” in which children are autonomous and practice self-directed learning, active exploration, and manipulation. Concerning discipline, we believe it should be firm but fair. Children will learn that they have a choice that positive behavior is always encouraged and that boundaries are set on their misbehavior. As for worship time, we would like to raise children who learn to love Jesus and start to acknowledge the real meaning of faith. Our focus will be for all children to meet the educational standards set by the school. We want to arrange child-centered classrooms that provide cognitive challenges and facilitate the development of autonomy and social skills. Our chief objective is, “learning through critical thinking and engaging play” away from the authoritarian style of teaching and in the absence of boring worksheets, and dull seatwork. The mission of the elementary section of AECHS School is to Promote Armenian, Christian, social and moral values these will help students grow physically, intellectually, and morally. We strive to prepare our students to become responsible and productive citizens and active members of society. We mold the students’ character and self-reliance, heritage, culture, and values. Provide a warm and nurturing environment for the students so that each child develops to his/her highest individual potential. Encourage students to become life-long learners with strong critical thinking. Provide them with a strong academic foundation that will lead them to a successful transition into intermediate classes. Help students to flourish in non-academic aspects, as well, like outings, school events, sports, and artistic activities. Students’ learning is also enhanced through field trips, educational assemblies, and listening to presentations by guest speakers. The Armenian Evangelical Central High School was founded as a primary school, for the children of the Armenian refugees, in the slums of Camp Adana, on the seashore of central Beirut, which is now the area between St. Michel and Camp Hadjin. The school was founded in 1922, in a most unhygienic environment, under the direction of two dedicated ladies, Miss Jemileh Kardashian and Miss Rahel Yacoubian. In 1950, on Commencement Day, a letter was read which was sent by the American University of Beirut. The letter appreciated the efforts of the faculty and administration and informed the school that from then on the graduates would be admitted in the Freshman Class of the university without entrance examination but under the recommendation of the principal. This showed that the Central High School was among the top 3 of the 32 high schools in Lebanon. Now the school has an enthusiastic and fervent Alumni Association in U.S.A. and Lebanon which feels proud in supporting the school morally and financially. The school is proud of its graduates in Armenia and Diaspora who are in responsible and leadership positions serving their respective communities as religious leaders, educators, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, writers, political leaders, and others. Together with quality education, the major purpose of the school is the formation of Christian and moral character in the student with Christian principles. View full school

Al-Manar Modern School is a private and independent school of more than 550 students, located in Ras-Elmatn – Mount Lebanon, 27 kilometers east of Beirut, and situated in an inspiring nature of Pine Trees. Consistently, we offer academic excellence and educational experiences enriched by opportunities for all ages of different learning styles. The school comprises kindergarten, elementary, intermediate, and secondary departments (K-12) directed by qualified, creative, and energetic teams. The school’s mission is to provide a healthy, rich, educated, and enjoyable learning atmosphere using modern facilities and strategies to assist the students’ success, expand their knowledge, and develop their character. The school’s vision is to be a green eco-friendly school in Mount Lebanon. AMS philosophy believes in setting opportunities for students at all levels in a learning organization where educating the person as a whole is vitalized to become a fully active member of society. Graduates of Al-Manar will have developed the values of emotional and social sensitivity, self-discipline and awareness, responsibility, self-confidence, critical reasoning, open-mindedness, and teamwork efficiency. The Kindergarten language arts program is designed to balance the needs of the students as they learn to “unlock” the code of the written word with their innate excitement for learning. Working in small groups, the children visit various centers during a week reading, writing, and art activities are all integrated into a single topic. Phonics instruction and small guided-reading groups provide the foundation. Language experience stories consist of retelling and recording the child’s language. Children have many opportunities to practice using written language. At the beginning of the year, many children may use inventive spelling to tell their tales, but as the year progresses they begin to apply the conventional spelling skills they have learned. Handwriting skills are reinforced along with proper spacing and punctuation. Building upon the strong foundation of the Kindergarten program, in First Cycle the goal is for each child to become an independent reader: one who reads joyfully whether for pleasure or specific information. Themes continue to be the foundation upon which most of the day’s lessons and activities are built. As the children grow in their decoding abilities, the focus broadens to include an emphasis on fluency, expression, comprehension, and analysis. The “center” approach to teaching and learning continues to provide the student's opportunities to work in small, adult-guided groups whether it is to read a book, work on phonics skills, write, or create a project that ties into the theme. Reading program is a researched-based program that demonstrates the effectiveness of instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Teaching comprehension involves various skills and strategies such as: predicting, concluding, summarizing, generating questions, and clarifying. These tools help students reflect on what they are reading because comprehension instruction is thinking instruction. Our qualified teachers are concerned about the most talented readers/writers and those who are struggling to improve. Therefore, the materials in this program help them to respond to the different students’ needs and abilities. Our curriculum provides a comprehensive language arts set that gives the students a strong foundation in their pursuit of education. The strategies used in Cycle 3 are designed to challenge our students. They work through interesting reading selections such as short stories, poems, dramas, essays, magazine articles, newspaper stories, textbooks and internet resources, ads, and maps. Moreover, a variety of tools as well as engaging activities are used to help them become active, open-minded, and powerful readers and thinkers. In addition to that, our students deal with a wealth of engaging listening, speaking, reading, grammar, and writing activities. Valuable self-assessment tests (The Self-Tests) build the students’ confidence and encourage them to be independent learners and enhance their competencies in meeting standardized tests objectives. We expect our graduates to think critically, to reason scientifically, to understand the relationship between the global economy and sustainable environments, to attain proficiency in a foreign language, and to recognize how philosophy, sociology, Social Studies, and technology have contributed to the development of the world. Of paramount importance in our students’ lives is helping them find balance. In addition, we encourage students to continue to pursue their athletic interests and artistic passions and to engage in the life of the school. We view coaches as teachers and the fields and courts as extensions of the classroom. We encourage our students to participate and to strive for excellence. The school seeks to produce highly competitive teams and prizes character, sportsmanship, and teamwork at all levels.
