Curriculum
Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten program is a hands–on program; with focus on discovery, awareness, language instruction, mathematical concepts and social skills.

CTI is a candidate school for the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) for the Kindergarten classes.

“Christian Teaching Institute is a candidate school* for the PYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe 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 (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.”

Grade and Middle School

CTI is also a candidate school for the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) for grade school.

The students study three languages, English, French and Arabic. Science is offered in English with American / PYP coordinated curricula. Mathematics is offered in English, and is advanced American and Lebanese, with PYP guidelines in grade school. French is offered in coordination with the French Cultural Center, and we prepare our students for the DELF in middle school. Arabic language follows what we believe to be the best offered locally, with provision for non-Lebanese students. Our curriculum also includes Bible, drama, art, music, PE and more. Students in middle school sit for the Brevet official exams in grade 9.

 

Secondary Classes

At the secondary level, CTI prepares students for the official Lebanese exams, the International Baccalaureate (IB), and college placement. The Lebanese program is accelerated, with emphasis on mathematics, the sciences and the three languages. The IB program follows the International Baccalaureate guidelines. There are also lots of co–curricular subjects, involving cultural studies, drama, lab, Bible, philosophy and more. Our students sit for the official governmental exams (Lebanese students only), the IB diploma (Lebanese and foreign students), the SAT exams, and the DELF French exams in coordination with the French Cultural Center. 

Activities

Most activities at the CTI are included in the mainstream curriculum. Thus students get to act in drama productions, or work in the lab, or get involved in sports tournaments, or use the computers, or peruse books in the library, or join competitions, or go on lesson-related outings, or give free reign to creative output. There are also clubs and teams that students can join. Drama is strong at CTI, with student involvement in plays and musicals.

Extra curricular activities are many, involving sports, clubs, scouts, artistic activities, special projects and more! We even organize yearly school trips for our students to Europe! In the beginning of the school year, parents will be informed of the offerings currently available for the year. Students have the choice of many activities after school hours.
