his achievement is the result of a 100-days challenge where a dedicated team of students, teachers, parents and community members collaborated to reach the goal of more than 35 innovative projects.

We are humbled with this achievement that couldn’t have happened without the support and trust of #nafda and the supportive #STEAMLAB team of principals and coordinators from various schools in Lebanon.

Our amazing students welcomed Ms. Shaylyn Carey, Associate Director, MEPLI and International Programming Professional Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education at Makassed Khaled Ben El Walid College while hosting Harvard Graduate School of Education MEPLI Workshops organized by the Makassed education office.

Extra-curricular activities at KBWH aim to develop well-rounded students. They go hand-in-hand with academics to include learning new skills, improving academic performance, appreciating individual differences, respecting the environment, and improving management skills. KBWH’s extracurricular activities are of various kinds such as cultural, philanthropic, athletic, and social.

KBWH students take part in national and international conferences, competitions, science fairs, drama, music competitions and concerts both inside and outside Lebanon. Field trips, both educational and recreational, are scheduled annually where students visit theaters, museums, historical sites, art exhibitions, and book fairs.

Physical education is an important part of the school’s curriculum.  “Leaders to Be” are assessed in their athletic abilities at beginning of the preschool level. In the elementary school, physical education classes (PE) aim to develop motor coordination and balance skills.  In the middle and secondary school, PE classes focus on the techniques required for both team and individual sports.  KBWH’s physical education is part of the curriculum in the Lebanese Baccalaureate program, foreign program and inclusive program.

 Competitions among Makassed schools are regularly organized promoting student participation in athletics and sportsmanship. KBWH’s teams compete locally and internationally in football, basketball, volleyball, handball, and handball. 

So if you are sports mad, you are most welcome to join one of our many teams.

Dance by CLES (Lebanese Center for Special Education) in collaboration with the National Dance Institute (NDI) is an amazing educational inclusive dance program provided for grade 5 students. Through this kinesthetic learning experience, students are not only learning how to dance, they are also learning how to follow directions, remember steps, understand patterns, and associate movement with emotional expressions. Moreover, this program helps children despite their needs to gain discipline, self-confidence, and trust in others. At the end of the program, students will have the opportunity to participate in spectacle end of year dance recitals attended by their parents.
