Tripoli International School

The school is called "International School of Tripoli" website is www.internationalschooltripoli.com

Fee schedule is available on the website under the Admissions tab.

They have a few buses for bringing children to / from school covering a few key areas, the cost of bus service is additional.

There is also the British Embassy school that covers the UK curriculum, not sure about Arabic / Islamic studies though.

Salam Siddiqui, Thanks for the info. But I am getting more confused.
The school you gave me is Int. School of Tripoli.

Try this website tripoliinternationalschool.com/ it's called "Tripoli Int. School" It's different from what you gave me. There is no fees under website for Tripoli Int. School. Their Tel Tel:  ++ 218 21 480 3333 / 480 9696.

I 'll also try the British Embassy.

There is not a "British Embassy School", there is the BIS (British Internatonal School), which follows the UK curriculum. It is not affiliated to the British Embassy.

The British educational system does not include Arabic/Islamic studies as a part of the general curriculum.

International School of Tripoli is a GEMS managed school with proper qualifed teachers.

It all depends on your budget and your preferences.

There is anther school called ISM (International School of Martyrs). They follow the Irish system. It is located off Gurgi Road near the satellite market.

There are two school with similiar names that is why the confusion.  Here is a list with some schools. ISM does offer Arabic as a course.  There are other schools as well such as a Pakistani school etc, but could not find contact info.  Here is a list of International schools in Tripoli:

I know that most people posting had primary age children - but the school will be adding at Grade 10 class next year and adding IGCSE's.  Also, they'll be running a summer school program for anyone who might be around for the summer and needs something for their kids. I know theirs is a much cheaper option than some other summer school programs.

The tripoli Internationl School that SafiaD is talking about is not the same as International School of Tripoli (GEMS Managed).

These are two separate schools not inter-related.

We are planning to enroll our at GEM International School on 2nd sem. But as of now he will do home study with me. He's 7 and will be in the 2nd grade. I was hoping you can help me what kind of lessons or books GEM is using so I can have material for my son.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Izel


P.S
thanks by the way about your infos re: household.

Hello! We are planning to enroll our son at GEM Int'l School but it will be on 2nd sem as we will arrive there on Dec. But by now my 7 yr old son as 2nd grade will do home study with me. I was hoping if you have any ideas which books school is using for 2nd grade. So, I can prepare him.

Thank you! Appreciate your help!

It's pretty much like that anywhere, TIS, GEMS, ISM.. but GEMS seems to have the best educational standard. Just stay away from the bazaar.

The American International School of Tripoli is very good with high academic standards. We were there one year.  My daughter now is in school in Calgary and she finds the Calgary school much easier and the students "coddled". 

Not that we were mean to our AST students - rather, we expected them to do their part of the learning.  No spoon feeding.

for me i'll never put my kids in Gems school from what i have seen my self

and for Moha hassan we can see that it is kind of adverisment since you the manegar of the school we are searching for something seariose here

now I`m a little offended! The school-uniform in GEMS is a "must be" by the rules. It looks elegant and nice. The teachers and kids are respectful, friendly and polite. The school is a great view! I heard only the best about GEMS before and since my child joints there it is happy and gets good results. Nearly all nations are there together and it is wonderful to see how kids and the school is able to break borders and all are same human beings - isn`t it wonderful.

Hi. IST (Gems) school is following the British national curriculum. You can get some idea of what they learn from this website- standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes3/ . Year 2 will be Key Stage 1 and they have SATS tests in Literacy and Maths in June. You can download previous years SATS question papers from the internet by searching for the same on google.You can also get a lot of online activities/games based on the british curriculum on the bbc website- bbc.co.uk/schools. Hope this helps.
