Greetings to all Middle and High Schoolers

Dear students:

Our school's vision and mission is to cater to all students within our French and Lebanese Curriculums.  We are trying to give each and every student guidance starting from Grade 6 up till Grade 12 for them to be ready for their university life, the choice of major, hence their future career.

The SOI welcomes students every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7AM till 1PM and after school daily Mondays to Fridays from 8AM till 6PM via email. All enquiries of students will be handled promptly.  

We guide students by giving orientation sessions in class and virtually, by answering all their inquiries, by introducing them to all entrance exams they need to sit for prior to university.  We help them choose their career path based on their personality and academic level, we introduce them to universities in Lebanon and abroad through physical and virtual presentations and forums.  We involve parents in the orientation sessions as well as professors who share their expertise will all classes from Grades 6 till 12.  We also assist students in applying to universities, in choosing majors, in getting scholarships as well as financial aid from the university they apply to, or from foundations.  We do a lot of activities on and off campus such as course and job shadowing, open doors, lab simulations, salons des profs, salons des metiers, internships amongst others. Training sessions are offered to the students such as soft skills, technical skills, transferable skills and others. Projects and Competitions are also offered to students who wish to take part, some on the national level, others on the international level.

The school is also open to different international platforms and educational providers:
