“Education built on honesty and trust.”
About La Cité
La Cité Nationale offers a complete education from Kindergarten through Grade 12, following the official Lebanese curriculum and preparing students for the Lebanese Baccalaureate. Lessons are taught in three languages, Arabic, French and English, and everything we do rests on our founding belief: true education is built on integrity and trust.
The values that guide usOne school, KG to Grade 12
Children can join us in Kindergarten and graduate with the Lebanese Baccalaureate, growing up in one community that knows them well.
A warm, safe first step into school life. Through play, routine and care, children build confidence, make friends and take their first steps in Arabic, French and English.
Strong foundations in reading, writing, mathematics and science, taught across three languages, with good habits and good character built in from the very start.
Deeper subjects and growing independence. Students learn to organise their work, think for themselves and get ready for the demands of the secondary years.
Rigorous preparation for the Lebanese Baccalaureate official exams, alongside university visits and real-world exposure that help students choose their path with confidence.
Our values
Four values shape every classroom, every school year, and every relationship between our teachers, students and families.
Honesty is not just taught, it is practised. Every lesson, assessment and relationship at our school is grounded in truthfulness and trust.
We hold our students, and ourselves, to high academic standards, preparing them to succeed in the Lebanese Baccalaureate and beyond.
Rooted in Barja and connected to Lebanon, we build a sense of belonging, service and responsibility that reaches beyond the school walls.
Through industry partnerships, university visits and real-world experiences, we prepare students not just for exams, but for life.
Life at La Cité
From an air base to a factory floor, a few of the moments that shaped our students' year.
Independence Day
To mark Independence Day, our students were welcomed at Beirut Air Base at Rafic Hariri International Airport, where they explored military aircraft, learned about runway operations and saw first-hand how the base works.
Industry partnership
As part of an ongoing collaboration, Engineer Hisham Hossami selected and hosted our top-performing students at his factory for a tour of his latest innovations, including the “Lira Taxi” project he was preparing to launch.
University readiness
Our secondary students visited Rafik Hariri University for an up-close look at its faculties, specialisations and laboratories, helping them picture their academic future and choose their path with confidence.
Community service
Our students led a school-wide drive to collect and distribute food to families most in need, made possible by teachers, alumni and partner charitable organisations who came together for a cause that truly matters.
Annual exhibition
Inventor Hisham Hossami was guest of honour at our annual school exhibition and surprised students by bringing his “Sky Lira” aircraft for a live display, an unforgettable moment of inspiration on campus.
