Lebanese Program or IB Equivalence For Grades 11-12

Lebanon’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education approved in 2018 the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme as an equivalant option exam for Lebanese citizens.

There are specific requirements if a Lebanese student wants to enter the 2 year IB programme. Students must take classes of Civics and History along with either IB Arabic B High Level or Standard Level Arabic A.

Bilingualism and Multilingualism

Through the Lebanese program, students develop proficiency, ensuring fluency in both Arabic and English, and equipping the students with valuable language skills for success in a globalized world.

French is a required subject in the PYP Programme for all students until Grade 6. At that time, students (foreigners in Grade 6) may select French, or Spanish as a third language. All students enrolled in Lebanon and at Wellspring are required by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education to study Arabic as a second language until Grade 10.
