Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Wellspring Learning Community is privately owned and operates under the guidance of a governing board of international and local members, advisory members and a head of school. The school currently has a student body of 919 students and around 200 faculty and staff members. Wellspring graduated its first senior class in June of 2016 and has earned a 100% Brevet pass rate (local government exam at the end of Grade 9) since students first began sitting for the exams in 2014. Wellspring is the first and currently the only International Baccalaureate Continuum World School in Lebanon authorized to offer three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes in English: Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP) along with the local Lebanese National Curriculum for Brevet students and the Life Sciences Lebanese track for seniors. All students follow the PYP and MYP through Grade10 using international and Lebanese content. All students from Nursery through Grade 10 take Arabic as either language and literature or as host country language acquisition. PYP students take French as a third language until MYP Grade 6 when students continue with either French or Spanish (international students) as the required third language until the completion of Grade 10. The school was awarded CIS / NEASC accreditation in January 2018.
