International School Fees Lebanon: Budget to Premium

Lebanon (Beirut and other areas) has international schools from budget to premium – British, IB, American and French-international options. This guide gives fee ranges and example schools so you can make an informed choice. Note: fees may be in USD or LBP; confirm currency given economic volatility.

• Budget: Roughly USD 3,000–6,500 per year (primary). Newer or smaller schools, recognised curricula.
• Mid-tier: Roughly USD 7,500–12,000 per year (primary). Established schools, good facilities.
• Premium: Roughly USD 13,000–20,000+ per year (primary). Top facilities, strong IGCSE/IBDP.

Secondary and exam years are typically higher. Beirut has the widest choice.
