Sagesse High School

The school has three programs: the Lebanese Program (LP), the American Program (AP), and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Admission for 2026–2027 opens for Preschool in the third week of January 2026 and for Grades 1–12 in the third week of March 2026; applications submitted after June 15 are considered late. The applicant must submit a complete SHS Application Form, a Medical Form with vaccination card, and, where applicable, documentation for special needs, copies of passport and civil registry records, the last report card, and, for Grades 4 and up, a recommendation letter from the principal of the previous school. Preschool tours and interviews run weekly from January 19; placement exams for Grades 1–12 are scheduled for July 8–10. Age requirements are: KG1 three years old by January 31; KG2 four; KG3 five; Grade 1 six by January 31; Grades 2–12 must have completed the previous grade. Applications are reviewed by the Admissions Officer with input from the Admissions Committee; the Rector makes the final decision. An appointment with the Admissions Officer is required to submit applications; walk-ins are not accepted. Acceptance letters for Preschool are issued about two weeks after the interview; for Grades 1–12, acceptance letters are issued in the third week of July. Waiting lists are used when there are no vacancies in a grade/program or for late applications submitted after July 15. A non-refundable admissions fee is charged in cash. Requirements for registration include submitting documentation within one week of acceptance and paying the non-refundable development fund: USD 1,500 per family for KG1–Grade 10 LP/AP and USD 2,000 per family for Grade 11 LP/AP-IB2, with specific documentation for local and international applicants. The Special Education Department provides services where applicable, and the Rector retains final admissions authority.

Waiting List: Applicants may be placed on the admission waiting list when there are no vacancies in a specific grade level or program at the time of application, or if they submit a late application after July 15.
