Brummana High School offers three boarding options: Full Boarding (weekdays and weekends), Weekly Boarding (weekdays only), and Flexi Boarding (half or full boarding for a defined period). There are two boarding houses, one for girls and one for boys, with a maximum of two students per room. Boarding includes three daily meals in the campus dining room and a mid-afternoon snack. A kitchen is available for student use, and weekend meals vary with breakfast served in the Boarding House, with Ramadan adjustments for fasting students.
Uniform requirements are neat, simple, clean and practical. On Full Formal Dress Days, boys wear suits or jackets with slacks and a tie, and girls wear skirts or slacks with a blouse or dress of modest length; hair should be clean and neat, and sunglasses must not be worn indoors. Hats, caps and hoods are removed indoors; only simple jewellery is allowed and nails must be kept short.
Three full meals are served daily in the campus dining room, with a mid-afternoon snack; a kitchen is available for student use, and snacks are always on hand. On weekends, breakfast is served in the Boarding House, and weekend lunch and supper arrangements vary, with some meals arranged off campus.
The Upper School operates a three-house system: Little, Waldmeier and Rizkallah. Students and teachers are assigned to a House and compete in various activities, culminating in Field Day.
The school is a non-profit organisation. A Board of Governors governs Brummana High School, guarding assets, land, buildings, endowment and investments and overseeing annual income and expenditures. The school is licensed and accredited by the Lebanese Ministry of Education.
Brummana High School is a long-standing non-profit day and boarding school in Lebanon with a British Quaker heritage dating back to 1873. Serving students aged 3 to 18, it offers two main curricula: the Lebanese Programme leading to the Lebanese Baccalaureate and the International Programme, which culminates in IGCSE (Grade 10), AS Level (Grade 11) and A Level (Grade 12), with the option for students to transfer into the International Baccalaureate Programme after Grade 10. The language of instruction is English, with Arabic and French taught as second languages. The 15-acre campus features historic spaces such as the Meeting House alongside modern facilities including a robotics lab and updated classrooms. The High School International Programme is accredited by the Lebanese Ministry of Education, the Educational Development Trust and the International Baccalaureate Organization, and Brummana is a Cambridge International School accredited by CELFA. The school upholds Quaker values of non-violence, equality and service, reinforced by a 10:1 student–teacher ratio and broad community-service opportunities.
