Our educational philosophy is captured in our founding motto, التربية والتعليم صدق وأمانة, meaning education built on honesty and trust.
Honesty is not just taught, it is practiced. Every interaction, assessment, and relationship at our school is grounded in truthfulness and trust.
We hold our students, and ourselves, to the highest academic standards, preparing them to succeed in the Lebanese Baccalaureate and beyond.
Rooted in Barja and connected to Lebanon, we cultivate a sense of belonging, service, and responsibility that extends far beyond the school walls.
Through industry partnerships, university visits, and real-world exposure, we ensure our students are ready not just for exams, but for life.
Our students don't just learn within four walls. From air base tours to innovation showcases, here is a glimpse of what this year looked like at La Cité Nationale.
In honor of Independence Day, our students were welcomed at the Beirut Air Base at Rafik El Hariri International Airport, exploring military aircraft, learning about runway operations, and gaining firsthand insight into how the base functions.
As part of an ongoing collaboration, Engineer Hisham Hossami personally selected and hosted top-performing students at his factory, giving them an exclusive tour of his latest innovations, including the soon-to-launch "Lira Taxi" project.
Our secondary students visited Rafik Al Hariri University for an up-close look at its faculties, specializations, and laboratories, helping them form a clear picture of their academic future and choose their path with confidence.
Our students led a school-wide initiative to collect and distribute food to families most in need, a collective effort made possible by teachers, alumni, and partner charitable organizations who came together for a cause that truly matters.
Inventor and innovator Hisham Hossami was the guest of honor at our annual school exhibition, surprising students by bringing his remarkable "Sky Lira" aircraft for a live display, an unforgettable moment of inspiration on campus.
We welcome families who share our commitment to honest education and personal growth. Getting started is simple.
