History

edit

The lycée Abdel-Kader whose creation dates back to 1909, had been known till 1985, when it was bought to the Mission laïque française by the Hariri foundation, as the school of young girls, even though it had been a coed school for some time.[citation needed] The school went through multiple stages of expansion which led in 1995 to the construction of an elementary school which allowed it to offer a full cycle of studies that includes kindergarten, which accepts students from the age of three, through twelfth grade.[citation needed] The establishment is a tripartite convention between the Hariri Foundation, the Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger and the Mission laïque française.[citation needed]

The degrees are recognized by both the French ministry of education[2] and the Lebanese ministry of education.
