Global competitiveness is what National Evangelical Institute for Girls and Boys (NEIGB) is all about. Not only does the School seek to attain excellence in education, it also seeks to enrich its students’ cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills and to thoroughly pursue their development and growth.

The school offers top quality educational programs to students of different backgrounds. It also addresses various learning styles by developing students’ academic aptitudes, social skills and character building. Besides, the multi-cultural school community contributes to the cultivation of this awareness.

NEIGB offers two educational systems: The Lebanese system leading to the official Secondary III Baccalaureate and BT3 certificates, and The American system, leading to the completion of the 12th grade program of study and issuance of the high school diploma.

The American High School curriculum is based on the “American Core Curriculum”, which leads to admission to both private Lebanese universities and/or colleges and universities abroad. MAP is used in Cycles I and II to measure students’ academic progress, while TOEFL and SAT are taught and utilized at the secondary level to prepare students for college and university admission.

The School also supports students who find it hard to manage the core requirements by offering students with special needs a sub-curriculum that allows them to cope with the main curriculum fundamentals.

The School’s teaching philosophy revolves around the principle of active learning. This empowers our students who are enrolled in the American System to experience countless skills and to invest their knowledge in life issues. Our teachers utilize teaching material and subjects vertically and horizontally, using different means to engage learners verbally, individually, via research projects, community service and through group work.
