International School in Beirut for Every Stage of Learning
From Montessori-based Early Years and the IB Primary Years Program through middle school, the IB Diploma and high school pathways, Eastwood gives students the space to learn, question, create and grow. You can explore English and French options, internationally recognized academic programs, and enriching school experiences that extend beyond regular classroom learning.
An International School in Beirut Where Learning Grows With Your Child
Choosing a school involves thinking about the years ahead, not simply the next academic term. Parents want to understand how their child can progress, what choices may become available later and how one stage of education connects with the next.
At Eastwood International School, students can follow a connected educational journey from the early years through primary, middle and high school.
Our academic pathways include the IB Primary Years Program, IB Middle Years Program and IB Diploma Program, alongside American High School and Lebanese Program options. English and French pathways also give families choices during the earlier years of education.
Classroom learning is supported by opportunities in design, technology, mindfulness, activities and personal development, giving students different ways to explore their abilities and interests as they move through school.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Intl Award
At Eastwood International School in Lebanon, students are provided the unique opportunity to participate in The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Awards program.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a systematized program for completing personal development milestones, in a documented way, with oversight. It teaches youth to pick an achievable goal, work towards it, stick to it, and see it through until the end. That act in itself says a lot; it requires a strong mindset to not give up, and to do what you say you’re going to do - even to yourself.
-
After-School Programs
Our after-school activity program is rich with unique activities, including Leadership, Mindfulness, Robotics, Photography, Theater…and even a Study Clinic in which our learners can pair up with teachers and their friends for extra academic support. Christmas Painting Events, Wellness Day, Cookie Decorations, Clay Night, and so much more are also part of the parent-child activities.
Not to mention international celebrations, such as International Day of Tolerance, Culture Day, EIS Tours the World, and so much more. This is all in efforts to reinforce the sense of community in our school. -
