Sagesse High School (also known as Sagesse High School, Mary Mother of Wisdom) is a private, Catholic co-educational school located in the suburb of Ain Saadeh, Matn District, Lebanon (30 minute drive from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport). Sagesse High School operates under the supervision of the General Secretariat of Catholic Schools in Lebanon as well as being a member of the La Sagesse institution of the archdiocese of Beirut, and is internationally accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools as of 2009. Sagesse High School is also the first IB World School in the country, offering the International Baccalaureate since 1995.

History

The school was founded in 1992 under the presidency of Fr. El Khoury. It became an official member of the IBO in 1995. Fr. El-Khoury was appointed to a sister-Sagesse school and replaced by Vice President Fr. Edgard Madi. In 2006, Fr. Edgard Madi was appointed archbishop in Brazil and Fr. Sauveur El-Khoury returned as president. In 2007, Fr. El-Khoury was appointed a Monsignor and replaced by Fr. Gabriel Tabet who is the current president, holding the title of Rector. In 2009, the school was granted accreditation by MSA after their visit.

Currently S.H.S. has three educational programs:

The Special Education Department caters for students with language-based learning difficulties (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, non-verbal learning disorder), learning gaps, mild speech and language delay/ mild psychomotor delays, ADD/ADHD, and Slow learning. The curriculum is designed to give students the broadest possible education, whilst preparing them to further their education in their chosen college or university in Lebanon and abroad. Students are considered special needs students if they are diagnosed by an approved independent psychologist and the School's psychologist as having one of the following disabilities prior to admission, or if they are referred to the Special Education Unit by a Head of Division at a later stage:

Alma mater

The school's Alma Mater was originally a brief hymn sung by the missionaries of Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the Virgin Mary and is sung by the students every morning after morning prayer.[3]
