hills overlooking Beirut to serve students who were not able to make it to the Ras Beirut Cam-
pus. A land in Ain Aar was chosen and two buildings were constructed. Today, these buildings
serve as a Preschool, Elementary and Middle school. (Ain Air students come to Ras Beirut for
their Secondary school years).
Recently, US architects were hired to draw up a master plan for Ain Aar which includes new
facilities to complement IC‘s state-of-the-art-education. Youssef Abi Abdallah, the Director of

sium. Finally, the third phase will then be the
renovation of the existing facilities for the
