Equivalence permission from the Lebanese Ministry of Education is required to place the student in the appropriate grade level and program. To obtain this document:

• Students holding the Lebanese Nationality only:

1- Grades of the last three years abroad should be legalized by the Ministry of Education, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Lebanese Embassy in the country where the student has studied abroad.

2-After completing these legalization(s), the same documents should be legalized in Lebanon by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and presented to the Ministry of Education (Equivalence Committee – UNESCO) along with a copy of the identity card, a valid foreign passport, and a proof of residence abroad, in order to obtain an equivalence of the class level in Lebanon.

• Students Holding a Foreign Nationality:
The grades of the last two years should be legalized following the same procedure above for the Students holding the Lebanese Nationality.

Along with the prerequisites mentioned earlier, parents or guardians must participate in a one-on-one meeting with our Learning Support Coordinator. Students will be accepted if we are confident in our ability to provide for their needs. If there is any uncertainty, students may be admitted on a trial basis, during which our Learning Support Department will evaluate their progress.

Moreover, students experiencing learning challenges might be directed to independent experts when official documentation is required to validate their eligibility for our Learning Support services.
