American Curriculum International Schools in Lebanon

American-curriculum international schools in Lebanon generally teach in English and follow US-style grade structures and standards (many adapt AERO or American high-school frameworks), while commonly offering options such as an American high-school diploma and, in some schools, Advanced Placement or parallel IB/Lebanese tracks. Arabic language study is normally compulsory and French is commonly taught as a second or third language, reflecting Lebanon’s multilingual environment. Annual fees vary widely across the sector and are often published in Lebanese pounds but billed or linked to US dollars; families should expect anything from lower-fee local international options up to significantly higher annual charges at premium schools. The academic year typically begins in September and admissions operate both on a main annual cycle plus rolling or vacancy-based intakes; overseas applicants should be ready with certified transcripts and early enquiries because places at popular year groups can fill quickly.
