Life in a boarding school is a unique experience for young people as they mature into young adults. As they experience the responsibilities and pleasures of communal life, our students become more self-reliant and self-confident. Working together to build a peaceful and harmonious community, they learn the need for self-discipline and to care for others. We know that our past students have formed friendships which they cherish long after they have left Brummana High School (BHS).
Throughout its history, BHS has had a well-established boarding section. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities.
The boarding section is set within the school’s stunning, nature-rich, 15-acre campus, situated at 750 metres above sea level and 25 minutes drive from the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
We accept boarders from Grade 5 (Upper Elementary Section). If accompanied by older siblings, we accept younger students from Grades 1-4.
Family Atmosphere
The students live in a friendly and family-like atmosphere. The boarding houses are directed by the Head of Boarding and House Parents who live in and are responsible for students, staff and the boarding activities programme. There are also Boarding Assistants, who work closely with the Head of Boarding and House Parents.
Together, our dedicated team of Head of Boarding, House Parents and Boarding Assistants come to know students well, and this enables them to support and guide the students. They give special attention to study habits, accompany students on trips, celebrate birthdays, and they make every effort to see that the boarding experience is a happy, productive and positive one.
Full, Weekly and Flexi Boarding Options
The school currently provides three boarding registration options:
There are two boarding houses available, one for girls and one for boys. A maximum of two students sleep in each room, and the school prides itself on the comfort and spaciousness of the dormitories. There are also recreation rooms, study areas and lounges where students can relax and work.
The boarding houses are nestled into the lower end of the sprawling, nature-rich campus, surrounded by pine trees and opposite the new BHS Sports Arena (to be completed by spring).
Edinburgh House is currently the main boarding facility being used. The Principal and House Parents also live in the building. Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, officially inaugurated Edinburgh House in 1967, travelling to Brummana by helicopter from Beirut.
