The School Principal

Mrs. Farhat El-Hassan holds a degree in Early Childhood Education from the Grant MacEwan College, Canada. After working a few years in Edmonton, she moved to the north of Lebanon where she got actively involved in creating a Preschool program in all its aspects for a local school in the area. 

In 1999, Mrs. Farhat El-Hassan was invited to join a team of dynamic educators at School Development Consultants (SDC), whose goal was to implement educational standards following the framework for 21st century learning. Mrs. Farhat El-Hassan was recruited as an SDC consultant and trainer for various schools across Lebanon and the Arab world. Her tasks included conducting needs assessments, developing school improvement plans through strategic and annual action plans, designing and delivering training programs/in set workshops for school improvement planning as well as Early Childhood Education. 

From 2001 to 2003, she headed the Preschool and Elementary Sections at LWIS-USL, and continued to be the main source of educational planning for Preschool for all Learner’s World International Schools. Since 2003, Mrs. Farhat El-Hassan has been the Principal at LWIS-USL. Since most of the SDC schools have been accredited by NEASC/AdvancEd and other agencies that conduct inspection within their respective countries, Mrs. Farhat El-Hassan has had the privilege to be chosen to serve as a peer evaluator on a number of accreditation visiting teams in different countries.
