International College

International College (IC) in Lebanon is one of the largest international schools in the world. With over 3,600 students across two campuses, the school has evolved throughout its long and rich history, dating back to 1891 in south-west Turkey, to an excellent institution, and one in a truly unique setting in the Middle East region and globally. Chartered in the State of Massachusetts, US, and abiding by the laws of the Lebanese government, IC remains a not-for-profit organization, and one that is proudly independent and non-sectarian. IC has a unique and special offering of programs to its student body. Indeed, four academic programs are available in the Secondary school: The International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, Lebanese Baccalaureate and College Preparatory Program, all of which herald success for our students. IC also offers a wealth of extra-curricular activities, including 96 school clubs and 94 interscholastic athletics teams as well as a sustainability program focused on the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. IC is also committed to its pioneering STEAM education, providing students with the technology and other resources necessary to engage them in life in 2018 and well into the future. The school is a pre-K to grade 12 school with English, French and Arabic taught at all levels. IC has more than 380 highly qualified members, 65% of whom hold a master’s degree or higher, and the school invests considerably in professional development, with over 440 days administered in 2017-18. The faculty is made up of both Lebanese and foreign hires, with teachers from America, Canada, France, Australia and the UK joining their local colleagues.
