Collège Notre-Dame de Jamhour is a private French-language, Jesuit catholic educational institution set in Jamhour (eastern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon). Its campus is set in a pine forest, and includes Petit Collège, Grand collège, a church, and a recently built sports complex. Prior to the late 1950s, the campus was located on Rue Huvelin in Beirut[1].
It follows both French and Lebanese baccalaureate programs, offering specializations in mathematics (Sciences générales), biology (Sciences de la vie), economics and social sciences (ES) as well as humanities (H). Students are taught in the Jesuit tradition of excellence. Language classes include French, Arabic, English, and Spanish (optional). The school usually averages highly in official exams, and enjoys a high standing among the Lebanese schools. Many students attend the best colleges in the world such as Harvard, Cambridge and McGill. Jamhour, originally founded and still currently run by Jesuit priests, welcomes students from "douzième" (equivalent of kindergarten) to "Terminale" (12th grade). It is affiliated with Collège Saint-Grégoire, in Achrafieh, Beirut, and has close ties and common history with the Université Saint-Joseph, Beirut.
