Collège Notre Dame de Jamhour

What Collège Notre Dame de Jamhour does

Collège Notre-Dame de Jamhour (CNDJ) is a private, non-profit Jesuit educational institution located in Jamhour/Hazmieh, Lebanon, operating under the governance of the Compagnie de Jésus (Society of Jesus) through its Province du Proche-Orient. Founded in its current form in 1953—with institutional roots tracing back to an 1843 Jesuit seminary in Ghazir—the college serves day students (boys and girls) from 12e (Grande Section/maternelle level) through Terminale, preparing them for both the Lebanese Baccalauréat and the French Baccalauréat. The institution holds AEFE homologation from the French Ministry of National Education, enabling official French examination pathways. Instruction is delivered in a trilingual Arabic/French/English environment under the Jesuit Pedagogia Ignatiana framework, with a 100% pass rate at the French Baccalauréat sustained for over 10 consecutive years.

The college operates a comprehensive service portfolio anchored by the Agogic digital workspace and companion mobile application, which provide students, parents, and educators real-time access to grades, teacher remarks, class schedules, bulletins, and account information. Supporting centers include the Centre Sportif, Culturel et Social (CSCS) offering sports and music schools plus summer camps; the Centre d'Information et d'Orientation (CIO) managing university admissions (including American and British pathways); the Centre de Formation et de Ressources pédagogiques (CFRP) for educator development; documentation centers (CDI/BCD); and personal support services encompassing psychology, psychomotor therapy, and speech-language pathology. The institution is part of the Réseau Notre-Dame de Jamhour—a network of 12 educational establishments in Lebanon—and maintains an affiliated relationship with Collège Saint-Grégoire in Achrafieh, Beirut.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition fees (payable in installments), separate subscription-based school transport services, one-time supply and exam registration fees, and transactional administrative fees for certificates and documents. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through online admissions, with scholarships facilitated by the school's Social Service and the French Consulate's scholarship program for French-national students. The college reports 251–500 employees and operates from its main campus on Route de Damas in Jamhour, with 2026-2027 admissions currently active.
