Eastwood Schools operate 2 private pre-K–12 International Baccalaureate World Schools in Lebanon. It operates two campuses, Eastwood College in Kafarshima and Eastwood International School Beirut, ( formerly Eastwood College Mansourieh ) in the outskirts of Beirut.
The school provides three main curriculum offerings: the IBDP programme, the American standards-based curriculum for students in the American High School program, and the Lebanese National Curriculum for students in the national program.
The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) is an internationally recognized, academically rigorous program that equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary for the 21st century. Eastwood Schools high standards, goals and professional approaches are strongly aligned with the IB vision and mission which creates a natural partnership. Together we will shape the movers and shakers – students with the knowledge, creativity, and confidence to initiate change and positively impact the world.
Founded in 1968, the International Baccalaureate (IB) is a non-profit educational foundation offering four programs of international education that develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills needed to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. Schools must be authorized, by the IB organization, to offer any of the programs. Its main aim of catering for students with different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds resonates very well with the mission of Eastwood Schools.
The American-based International Program (for students with the legal exemption from advanced studies in Arabic) leads to a High School Diploma accredited by the Lebanese Ministry of Education on completion of Grade 12. The language of instruction is English; Arabic and French are taught as second languages. Support is offered for students sitting internationally recognized external exams such as the SAT, SAT II, and TOEFL. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered to able and motivated students who wish to pursue college-level studies while still at school. All students explore a subject in depth, develop analytical reasoning skills, and form disciplined study habits which contribute to continued academic success.
