For over 50 years, Collège Melkart has been a pillar of educational excellence in Lebanon, providing a high-quality French education to generations of students. Always evolving and adapting to the new requirements of the world around us, today, we are thrilled to announce a new milestone in our journey: the launch of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP).
As an independent and secular institution, Collège Melkart is accredited by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) and adheres to Lebanese laws, while maintaining an international perspective. Offering a complete educational path from nursery to the final year of high school (Terminale), the school provides a dual Lebanese and French curriculum, enabling students to access an enriched education that respects and integrates cultural diversity
Collège Melkart (Melkart International) is a Candidate School* for the Primary Years Programme (PYP). This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Collège Melkart (Melkart International) believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org
