History

Collège Louise Wegmann was founded in 1965 by former students of Mrs. Louise Wegmann, a leading Lutheran educator and social worker, active in Lebanon in the period of 1920-1950.

Leadership

There have been two Directors of the College since its foundation: Miss Raymonde Abou (1965-1999)and Mrs Tiba Geha-Villard (2000–present). Ms. Abou has been awarded both the Ordre des Palmes Académiques, a rare award given to eminent educators who have contributed greatly to the French national education system, as well as the Ordre du Mérite. Similarly, Mrs. Geha Villard received in December 2008 the Ordre des Palmes Académiques.

Campus

The school has two main campuses, one located in the village of Bchémoun 5 miles from Beirut and a second in Jouret al-Balout set in a picturesque Mediterranean pine tree forest. In 1999, a third campus opened in Beirut on a plot of four hectares in Badaro that combines students from the campuses in Jouret Al Balout and Bchemoun from 4eme to Terminale.
