Enroll your child in a modern, private school in Beirut, taught in English, with the IB-PYP international curriculum, using 21st Century learning tools.
At our private school in Beirut, we run the English-language, International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB-PYP). In addition to English language instruction, we are also one of the first in Lebanon to implement this world-renown curriculum in the French language. More on our French elementary school can be read
here.
For the younger ages, we further incorporate the well-respected Reggio Emilia approach to pedagogy into our curriculum. This is known as our ‘early years program’ (synonymous with what you may know as a nursery and elementary school). In addition to an already-world-class curriculum, our young students are brought up to learn how to code from the time they are in Kindergarten - not as an elective, but as part of their core studies.
You’ll often hear us say, time and again, that we are focused on the ‘whole child.’ We also say that we take a ‘holistic’ approach to education. This philosophy ‘fits like a glove’ with our chosen elementary school curriculum, the IB-PYP; it’s an international teaching system that can only be offered by schools who meet stringent standards.
At the end of the day, kids who know facts aren’t necessarily kids who will grow into functioning, contributing members of society. We aim to do both; that is, we instill knowledge, and emotional skills.
So, the PYP curriculum emphasizes acceptance, open-mindedness, international-mindedness and compassion - among many others. These “learner attributes” are meant to give students the best chance possible at becoming persons of character and achievement.
