Welcome to Senior School!


	Jacques El-Khoury Head of Senior School

LWIS Keserwan - Adma International School provides an outstanding educational opportunity for Senior School students with maximum educational growth for each learner as its goal. English is the language of instruction for all students seeking either the American High School Program or the Lebanese Program. Moreover, LWIS-AiS is an authorized International Baccalaureate World School for the Diploma Programme (IB DP). The aim of the IB DP is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. The school mission is well aligned with the IB mission in promoting life-long learning and the Peace Education components. The students who follow the American program and succeed in getting the IB diploma will join directly the Sophomore program and skip the Freshman year at college. The IB diploma is as important for the students who follow the Lebanese program since it offers them a better chance to be enrolled in most local and international universities.

The Arabic and French courses within the American High School Program are driven by the academic level of our students and not by pre-determined standards. As to the context of the curriculum, the Lebanese curriculum is determined and set by the government.

The American High School Program is designed according to the Learner’s World philosophy and is consistent with international schools, adjusted to accommodate the national culture.

LWIS-AiS also offers a multi-level program. An interactive approach to learning is utilized whereby library and technology resources are used to create links within and across the different disciplines. Both teaching and assessment strategies are diversified to ensure holistic development.

There is much more to a high school education than academics. LWIS-AiS offers a wide variety of co-curricular activities to supplement formal learning. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in activities beyond the classroom.

The Senior School main goal is to "begin with the end in mind” Stephen Covey. In fact, many learners achieve victories at the expense of things that were far more valuable to them. "If your ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take gets you to the wrong place faster.” We will guide and empower our students to strengthen their values and principles and shape their future. It is about connecting again with the Peace Education components which define the personal, moral, and ethical guidelines within each person’s expression of happiness and fulfillment. Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, project, or academic year with a clear vision of the desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing proactive muscles to make things happen. The theme is not limited to students but also includes the LWIS-AiS educators and administrators as part of their professional and organizational development.

One of the best ways to incorporate this habit in each person’s life is to develop a Personal Mission Statement which will be introduced and developed throughout the Personal Social Development sessions which will continue to take place every Friday. It is about planning for success and securing the future envisioned in each individual. From the beginning of the school year, we will continue to provide the learners with career guidance tests and universities’ admission requirements in addition to universities open doors and orientation. This will enable students to set priorities early on and give them the chance to develop them throughout the year. Simultaneously, we will launch all the activities, competitions, events, as well as field trips. Starting with the end in mind also applies to lesson planning; it is called "Backward Planning.” We will introduce the latter in projects by starting with the end. We will tell the learners what is expected of them at the end of the project. This will keep them motivated and energized throughout the weeks as they prepare their presentations. It will also be integrated in teaching methodologies.

The strategic planning process undertaken by school board members, administrators, teachers, students, parents, and community members helps us reflect on what we are doing and what we want to accomplish. In other words, it helps us begin with the end in mind as we set goals for the next five years. Administrators and teachers will be able to complete action plans and align their goals with the school and board goals.

Nevertheless, our personal belief is that every person should live his/her life with the end in mind. What kind of legacy will we leave for our children and community? Is the world a better place because we have been in it? So, where are we now? Who do we want to be? What do we want to do? What are we going to do? These are the most relevant questions. They are about being before doing where honesty is the catalyst to create one’s destiny.
