education, we seek to shape students into strong Christian men and women—individuals who know how to pray, grow

are the hallmarks of our students’ character, reflecting the profound values of Christian spiritual teachings.

By instilling respect for moral principles, our students learn to discern right from wrong and embrace virtues
such as honesty, trust, generosity, truth, justice, and peace.

who love their country, honor its cultural heritage, respect its history, and understand their civic
responsibilities. By fostering appreciation of one’s own culture, we also cultivate openness to others,
encouraging tolerance and global awareness. We aspire to shape true Lebanese citizens who are also capable
global citizens.
