If you aim to succeed, value the time you spend with your mentors do not just learn to benefit from their experience but acknowledge your dreams along the way. If you aim to be adventurous, value yourself as a risk-taker, assess the situation and be confident of your success. When you aim to be a Sagesse High School student, value every opportunity you are offered to make lifetime memories. Remember, the journey will not be perfect, but your choices should be, and time will surely tell. Since 1992, we have established a reputation for providing quality education in a warm and welcoming environment. Upper Elementary students are taught in an environment that allows them to appreciate their worth, develop their self-esteem, and believe in their abilities. With continuous improvement in all areas of the curriculum, we will secure a well-balanced future for our “globally-minded “children who will grow up to be successful inquirers, thinkers, risk-takers, and communicators. Through the various curricular and extracurricular activities we teach our children to have confidence and independence to explore new situations and understand the importance of physical and mental balance. Each child in the Upper Elementary Division is valued as a person with equal rights to learn and play with respect and dignity. Together with the support of parents, teachers, and staff members, we can build a solid foundation for the challenges of the future. The Intermediate Division is fully aware of the significant changes teenagers undergo during this period of their lives. Hence, we strive at helping them develop their identity while at the same maintain a well-balanced character and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to face the world. Education is a rightful mission that engages students in a lifelong learning process and prepares them to become responsible citizens. Our theme this year is You Matter, and since our students are highly valuable to us, it is our role as educators to reinforce their development as humans. We guide them to be reliable citizens in their communities. We acknowledge their humanitarian image, and we guide them to become decision-makers. Thus, they can hold on to their destiny with pride and integrity. Moreover, we instill cultural values such as being independent citizens. Yet, it is not easy to claim independence unless it is synchronized with responsibility. Once they hold responsibility, the student can be held accountable for their actions, they will develop strategies to be more organized, and they will meet challenges with grace and wit. We aim to have every Sagesse High School student develop values that are in alignment with the school’s mission statement and its educational vision. When our students feel how fit they are in the school’s environment, they can understand how much they matter to us, their educators. View full school

Our philosophy is based on three pillars characterized by Quality-Excellence, Value-based approach, and holistic view. The quality excellence is exemplified by the academic area which relies heavily on strong academic performance provided by well-selected teachers and staff. This excellence spills over students’ experience, research, and teaching, faculty and staff support in addition to communication. The values-based approach is apparent via the students’ character students at Saint – Georges is developed and nurtured holistically to realize their full potential. The holistic view is revealed by the extra-curricular activities which provide a plethora of opportunities to be seized by students based on the belief that such activities shape and build the positive attitude of our students and put the real world in perspective. This contributes to putting the theoretical framework into practice. In addition to these pillars we are committed to the following in our educational approach: Fostering the moral values of students in an environment characterized by its diversity. Providing dedicated, passionate, and qualified principals and teachers. Cultivating respect for the environment and all its resources. Helping students to exercise their full potential through empowerment and working on their potential. Emphasizing analytical and creative thinking as a means to preparing students for the workplace and life. Producing students proficient in English-the lingua franca of our world- while enhancing our students’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills. Cultivating the concept of social responsibility by showing responsibility to all our stakeholders. Cultivating cooperation, teamwork, good health, emotional stability, and maturity and encouraging interest in sports, games, clubs, and social activities. Building the capacity of our faculty and staff via continuous training and development to maintain their core competencies and keep their knowledge updated in a fast pace moving world. Preparing students to be great leaders and positive contributors to their communities and the whole world. Focusing on and engaging in critical contemporary issues. Lucid vision for quality excellence, distinction in teaching and education, and is recognized as an inspiration beacon in our community by preparing citizens who are academically rounded and socially responsible. Our vision aligns with rapid shifts in the global economy, society, and environment, which animate our mission and our values: Creativity, innovation, and a desire to challenge the status quo, both in what and how we teach and in the intellectual ambitions of the School itself. Social engagement, orienting students' academic experience to help them become critically engaged citizens dedicated to solving problems and contributing to the public good. This comes as a consequence of the act that Saint Georges School itself has a sense of citizenship in its community and obligation towards its primary and secondary stakeholders. Over the past tens of years, Saint Georges School has blossomed and gained an edge over other schools operating in the region. Saint Georges School has become recognized for its prestigious reputation and developed a great brand image due to different academic indicators related to the highest levels of success in the Lebanese Baccalaureate Exams and other indicators related to the unique culture developed at our School. Saint Georges School contains 58 classrooms, well-equipped science labs, a library, a fully equipped playground, a sports court, and up-to-date computer labs which comprise the resources utilized by our faculty, staff, and students. This is accompanied by highly competent human capital which is the cornerstone of any success. The emphasis in our schools is on producing a first-class education in a secure environment where the students’ development is always monitored and assessed by a group of well-educated teachers and professors. Saint Georges School offers Arabic, English, and French programs in addition to special Arabic programs for foreign students, Special Needs programs, and Health Services by MediSchool. The school staff comprises teachers with a wide scope of expertise and academic accomplishments, selected based on EEO (equal employment opportunity) standards. This enthusiastic team of teachers and administrative staff seeks to stimulate independence of thoughts, knowledge, and well-balanced education. Our faculty and staff are periodically trained and professionally developed to keep pace with the changing environment in which they operate and provide our students with the latest academic trends. The system of education provided by our School is based on the following approach: The most important aspect of the approach is the attitude of the teacher, where teaching is in a form of play that fosters the blossoming of the child’s natural development. Learning can and should be made interesting, enjoyable, and fun. A large portion of the teaching materials is produced at the school by the teachers, who customize their teaching aids to suit the interests and knowledge levels of the students. Children learn spontaneously when their interests and curiosity are awakened. Teaching is confined to brief periods according to the natural attention span of each child, which is normally 15-30 minutes daily during the first two years. It is never extended beyond the child’s span interest. The act of teaching consists primarily of exploring and using sensory images, objects, and information given to the child pleasantly and interestingly and permitting him/her to observe and inquire about the subject, without compelling him/her to memorize. Colored flashcards with large images are utilized as convenient low-cost teaching aids. Rapid acquisition of basic reading and verbal skills in multiple languages occurs naturally by exposing the child to whole words as objects repetitively for very brief periods. In this manner, at a young age, even children of illiterate parents learn several languages as effortlessly as they normally learn to speak their native tongue. Storytelling is used to make learning fun and to share basic values of goodness, beauty, harmony, responsibility, and right conduct. Observation and Language are used to create a personal bond between the teacher and students which is rich, immediate, and enduring. Information on people and other living things, places, history, geography, and other cultures are presented to the child in the form of stories, pictorial information and explanations combined to present facts in a living, integrated context rather than as a series of separate divorced subjects. Rapid acquisition of basic math skills is achieved through the use of the number line method which enables the child to physically experiment and act out different combinations of addition and subtraction. The Pre-school is a three to five years cycle consisting of English Programs along with Arabic taught as a complementary part. This cycle is divided into 3 classes which are nursery, Kg I, and Kg II. The Pre-school is guided by early childhood education which is an essential building block that enhances the growth and development of the whole child. The Preschool curriculum includes Language Arts, Creative Arts, Reading and Writing Arts, Poems, Sciences, Math, Music, Story, Drama, Puppets, and Physical Education. Students are encouraged to become active and independent learners, critical and creative thinkers, responsible adults, and team players. Students are allowed to construct meaning from their own varied learning experiences. Saint Georges School works as a family where parents and children cooperate to create a healthy, positive, and rewarding learning environment for the child. Saint Georges Pre-School Area is a place for young children to discover, explore, investigate, experiment, and enjoy learning. The primary section at Saint Georges School offers a high quality of education in a supportive and thoughtful environment. It allows students to express themselves and promotes a positive attitude towards creativity. Students are actively engaged in the learning process through the use of different resources and facilities provided to aid teaching methodologies. Our students are also involved in different activities in which they can relate knowledge to their personal experiences or daily interactions. The secondary section at Saint Georges School provides an education that enables an individual to acquire knowledge, skills, habits, attitudes, and values necessary for a successful performance of his responsibilities as a citizen and a rewarding personal life.

The pedagogical life on campus will be also marked this year by the implementation of different actions in alliance with the actualization of the school project. The Canteen at the College is offering to all students from Grade 1 up to the senior classes hot meals healthily prepared for lunch. Those who wish to register their kids for this service are kindly requested to contact the accounting office. On the other hand, the College will continue to offer to its preschool students the usual lunch service. Multimedia projectors are now in use by the teachers for the improvement of the pedagogical service. MIC emphasizes the student-centered approach in its education provided by a multi-disciplinarian faculty and staff, in addition to a large variety of co-educational programs. Students are led all the way to examine their targeted goals, their unrevealed abilities, and their ultimate options towards a promising future. The warm and caring atmosphere at MIC inspires every student to bloom to his full potential. Lebanese and American programs from Nursery to Grade 12 are genuinely designed, applied, and evaluated. In parallel with the academic programs, aesthetic programs related to fine arts and performing arts are applied to target living values and communication skills. A computer lab, a science and technology lab, a library, an art room, multimedia rooms equipped with interactive whiteboards, indoor and outdoor physical education spaces, school transportation service, cafeteria, are established along with the highest standards of security to assure an efficient learning journey in a pleasant and nurturing environment. Away from the city crowd and pollution, 200 meters above the sea level in the heart of Lebanon’s North Metn, on a 25 000 sqm campus, Montana International College was established in 2000. Montana International College, a Lebanese private secular school, welcomes students from different backgrounds and various nationalities from around the world in its French and English sections, where they are comfortably integrated and taught in Peace, Harmony and Tolerance.

The School was founded in 1860 by a British lady called Mrs. Bowen Thompson. Her husband had recently died and when she heard of the sufferings in Lebanon due to the civil strife that was present in the country during the early part of 1860, she sailed to Lebanon to try and be of some use to those people who flocked to Beirut from the mountains in search of security. One of the things she thought would be most useful was to start school. This she did and so was born the Lebanon Evangelical School for Boys and Girls. As an institution of the Lebanese Evangelical Society, we aim to maintain an educational institution that will have a special emphasis on moral and spiritual values, and which will be a center of working Christian Fellowship and witness. The development of the whole of the child’s personality is our aim. Therefore, we strive to provide opportunities for learning through shared experiences, to enable the student to learn, develop and recognize the resources within themselves to know how to deal with the pressures of today’s society and make a constructive contribution to it. LES Loueizeh has always tried to provide a secure environment for students with a wide range of academic abilities. Within this general framework, we endeavor to encourage those who find lessons difficult and, at the same time, to challenge those who find academic work easy. As far as possible we resist the temptation to ‘drop’ students for academic or disciplinary reasons unless it becomes clear that a change of school might benefit them. Students normally aim for the Lebanese Baccalaureate administered by the Department of Education and Fine Arts of the Lebanese Government. Success in that examination provides, for example, a basis for entering the first year of the Lebanese University program or the Sophomore year of an American University. The school runs a special “Foreign System” for those students who have an exemption from Arabic studies. From Class Nine, the program follows the British-based examination system of GCSEs and A levels and their International equivalents. Passing seven subjects at GCSE and three at A level usually entitles students to enter the Sophomore year of university. Students who pass the High School Certificate enter the Freshman year. Responsibility for all aspects of registration and entry procedures lies with the Principal. Entrance examinations are held towards the end of the summer term and, if there are vacancies, sometimes early in September. For those coming from outside Lebanon, special arrangements can be made. If it is wished to register a student in the School, the office of the Registrar should be contacted as early as possible. Each completed application form should be accompanied by a fee of 10,000 LL. If an entrance examination is offered to the student, there is a fee of 20,000 LL. On registration, a fee of 1,050,000 LL is required, which is part of the school fees. There is also a charge of a one-off charge Development Fee of 750,000 LL per family. This is used to further the development of the school in terms of infrastructure. An example would be the new football field or Basketball stadium. After an interview and successful completion of the entrance examination, the student can be considered for acceptance. Either during the interview or after the results of the entrance examination are known, the special ‘atmosphere’ of the School will be explained to the student and his or her parents. It is appreciated that not all students would be willing or able to benefit from this type of school and it could be irksome for some to try. Students in Lebanon are fortunate in that they have a large number of schools from which to choose. For several years the School has had state-of-the-art computer facilities not only in the Senior Section of the School but also in the Junior Section. These are always being updated and are in constant use throughout the day, including times before and after school. We are proud that our students have responded splendidly and with integrity to our policy of an ‘open’ computer room. The total number of computers available for use by students is 60. In addition, the Administration and Staff are generously supplied with computers. Within the constraints of the pressures of the Baccalaureate system, practical sessions in the laboratories are encouraged as much as possible. A laboratory assistant is about to be appointed and it is expected that this departure, together with the curriculum developments being introduced to the program by the Ministry of Education, will result in a rapid increase in the use of the laboratories. In addition to the regular PE lessons, sports are a very important aspect of the life of the School. We participate in several Athletics, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, and Table Tennis tournaments and are proud of our achievements. The School is divided into four ‘Houses’ which compete in all the above sports, providing an opportunity for all who wish to participate in these activities. The ‘Houses’ are directed by the Senior students, who thus enjoy the opportunity to prove their leadership qualities. There is normally a high level of competition in the House system. The School has a history of extra-curricular activities, of which summer camps have been a feature for many years. More recently very popular and successful ski camps have been run. Trips are arranged for various sections of the School throughout the year. There are several after-school activities taking place most days and students are encouraged to participate as much as possible. View full school
