What ACT College Lebanon does

ACTC Advanced Computer Technology Center, doing business as ACT College Lebanon, is a Lebanon-based educational technology institution founded in 1999 and headquartered in Nabatieh. The company delivers Microsoft-based digital transformation curriculum to K-12 partner schools through a B2B2C model: schools license the program and host the curriculum on campus, while students serve as the end users. With 13 employees, ACTC operates as a small private EdTech operator focused exclusively on the Lebanese market.

The core product is the Innovation Center at School program, which deploys two high-tech Harmonic Learning Labs (maker spaces) per partner school, equipped with interactive panels, 3D printers, AR/VR kits, robotics kits (Arduino, Raspberry Pi), Octagon and Strawbees construction kits, and tablets. Curriculum covers ICT, CAD design, robotics, coding (Scratch, Python, C++), and immersive learning through Minecraft Education Edition and Activinspire, integrated with official licensed Microsoft Office 365, Autodesk, and Adobe software. An online learning platform supports distance learning for up to 200 concurrent users with automated exam corrections, and a Microsoft Certified Educator Program issues Microsoft badges and certificates to students and teachers. The portfolio also includes language proficiency courses (Elementary to Upper-Intermediate, A1–B1) and French certification prep (TCF-Delf).

Revenue is generated through school partnership agreements covering curriculum licensing, STEAM lab setup, teacher certification through Microsoft and Promethean, and bundled software licensing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company uses WhatsApp and email for quote-based inquiries. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales to schools, with no self-serve, channel partner, or reseller motion. The company holds no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates as an independent private entity.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• micro:bit Educational Foundation: micro:bit Educational Foundation distributes low-cost STEM microcontrollers plus free lesson plans to schools globally. It is comparable to ACT College Lebanon's Arduino/Raspberry Pi curriculum layer but operates as a non-profit foundation rather than a licensed curriculum vendor, and lacks ACT College Lebanon's Microsoft-credentialed certification outcomes.
• Kano Computing: Kano Computing builds STEAM learning kits (coding, motion sensors, pixel kits) paired with curriculum and used in K-12 settings. It is comparable to ACT College Lebanon's Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Strawbees learning systems and shares the maker-space ethos, though Kano is consumer-retail-led and operates at global scale.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Education: Microsoft Education is ACT College Lebanon's upstream ecosystem partner and a broad incumbent offering Office 365, Teams, Minecraft Education Edition, and educator certification pathways directly to schools. It is comparable as the parent platform behind ACT College Lebanon's curriculum, and a latent competitor if Microsoft chose to ship turnkey STEAM curricula directly.
• Google for Education: Google for Education offers Chromebooks, Workspace for Education, and Google Classroom as a full K-12 stack. It competes for the same school-procurement wallet as ACT College Lebanon's STEAM curriculum and represents a substitution risk for schools choosing Google's productivity/learning bundle over Microsoft-aligned vendors.

Direct peers

• Tynker: Tynker is a K-12 coding and STEAM curriculum platform licensed to schools, with self-paced courses, lesson plans, and teacher dashboards. It is the closest direct peer to ACT College Lebanon because both sell structured coding/STEAM curriculum to schools, certify teachers, and monetize through school licensing rather than consumer subscriptions.
• Lego Education: Lego Education sells STEAM kits (including robotics and maker-space hardware) plus grade-mapped curriculum and teacher training to K-12 schools worldwide. It is directly comparable to ACT College Lebanon's Harmonic Learning Lab maker-space model, which similarly bundles physical robotics/3D printing kits with curriculum and educator certification.
• CoderZ: CoderZ provides a STEM/STEAM curriculum platform with coding, robotics, and 3D simulation delivered to K-12 schools. It is a direct peer because both target school procurement cycles, package coding with robotics curricula, and offer teacher dashboards — though CoderZ is more software-led and ACT College Lebanon pairs software with physical STEAM labs.

Regional players

• Classera: Classera is a MENA-region learning management system and school-operations platform deployed across the Gulf and broader Arab world. It is a regional peer to ACT College Lebanon because it sells into the same school procurement motion in MENA, though Classera is broader (LMS/SIS) and not STEAM-specialized.
• iSchool: iSchool is an Egypt-based K-12 EdTech program offering STEAM, coding, and digital-skills curricula through partner schools. It is a regional MENA peer to ACT College Lebanon with a similar school-licensing model and STEAM focus, but operates from a larger Egyptian market and does not depend on Microsoft's credential stack.
• RoboGarden: RoboGarden is a MENA-rooted STEAM and coding curriculum platform licensed to schools across the Middle East and North America. It is the closest regional peer to ACT College Lebanon because both target Arabic-speaking school markets with structured coding/STEAM curricula and teacher enablement, though RoboGarden is more software-led.
