Information technology is introduced to students from the elementary stage through the secondary cycle.
The school also provides social and psychological support and counseling. Moreover, all students are insured against accidents and medical care.

It encircles a library, scientific laboratories and a computer room.
Languages:
Beside Arabic, the mother tongue, English and French are taught upon the selection of the parents and students. In fact, students who are French educated begin taking English as a foreign language as of the fourth grade (beginning of the second cycle) similarly to those students who are English educated and who start taking French as a foreign language as of the fourth grade. However, experience has shown that it is easier to learn English for whoever starts learning French.
