American High School Diploma

Students worldwide who complete the American High School program are well-prepared for entrance into leading universities. This robust educational pathway is recognized for nurturing high-performing students, as evidenced by assessments at the international level.

What is the
American High School Program?

Eastwood International School in Lebanon proudly expands its educational reach by offering an American High School Diploma online, in addition to our on-campus program in the Beirut area. This curriculum, now accessible beyond our physical classrooms, begins in the middle school years and culminates in a high school graduation, open to students with international passports from anywhere in the world. Our offering online is for Grade 10, enabling students to transfer, if they choose to, to the IBDP programme in Grade 11.

Eastwood Global now proudly offers its esteemed American High School Diploma program online, welcoming students who are exempt from the advanced Arabic studies as mandated by the Lebanese government. This diploma, which holds recognition from the Lebanese Ministry of Education upon completion, also paves the way for university admission globally.

Our virtual American school program mirrors the excellence of our Beirut campus, integrating award-winning curricula and innovative teaching methods. In this digital learning landscape, students engage with top-tier English instruction, equipped with cutting-edge technology, including iPads and coding courses, to ensure a comprehensive educational experience.

While Eastwood is an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and offers the Lebanese Baccalaureate, our American High School Diploma stands out as a premier choice for those seeking a private education, particularly for middle school students aspiring to transition to the IB Diploma Programme in Grade 11.

What makes our American High School program unique?

In this program, Eastwood International School (based in Beirut) teaches in the English language. It uses American, and thus, internationally-minded, curricula.

Arabic and French are still taught as secondary languages. In their final year, students are supported to sit through internationally-recognized exams, such as the SAT, IELTS, and TOEFL. In some cases, high school students may also take selections of IB courses, without being in the full program (a separate path of study for upper grades). All students in the American school program are eligible to switch to the full IBDP at Eastwood Schools after completing Grade 10.
