Studies have shown that parental involvement in a child’s education has a major impact on his/her academic success and well-being. It improves students’ achievements, reduces absenteeism, and increases parents' confidence in their children's education.

In general, students with involved parents earn higher grades and have better social skills.

We believe that parents who are involved at school can offer valuable insight that may help teachers work with their child more effectively. Parents feel empowered to raise concerns and negotiate solutions with teachers. 

SHS fosters healthy parental involvement through events and volunteer opportunities. We keep parents informed, and make the most out of parent-teacher conferences. We also encourage their participation in events, activities, and outings.

The following are stances that we follow in this matter:

The Internal Annual Science Fair for Grade 6 was held on Thursday, January 24, 2019. Students displayed their projects and presented them with great enthusiasm to the concerned judges.

Our SHSMUNers participated in Broumana High School Model United Nations (BHSMUN) on January 19 and 20, 2019.

Sagesse High School offers you the chance to rent its indoor basketball court and mini football pitch.  

Our basketball court is a beautiful full-sized hardwood court with wall-mounted glass backboards and room around the perimeter for spectator seating. It also features retractable volleyball net that can convert the court into a full-sized volleyball court in a matter of minutes.

Our mini football pitch’s artificial grass turf is perfect for optimum playing experience and players safety and ideal for playing 5 a side football. 

Throwback to our Upper Elementary Division's Christmas shows, the perfect way to get into the Holiday spirit! Dressed in joyous Christmas costumes, our students have put on extraordinary scenes and dances followed by festive and magical concerts.

On January 22, 2019, the Math Department had the X Internal Math Fair with the participation of around 110 students from Grades 7, 8 and 9. The Fair was a complete success and students presented various innovative and creative projects.

The Internal Annual Science Fair for the Intermediate Division was held on Friday, January 18, 2019. Students of grades 7, 8, and 9 displayed their projects and presented them with great enthusiasm to the concerned judges.

Grade 4 students participated in a competition about Lebanon and its Independence. Students are so excited to find out who the winners are!!

بعيدًا عن المحاصصة والتوزيع الطائفيّ والمذهبيّ، تشكّلت حكومة الاستقلال الخامس والسبعين على أسس المعرفة والبحث والعِلم.

ففي كلّ شُعبة من الشُعَب الأربع للصفّ الأساسيّ الخامس، طُلب من كلّ تلميذ أن يقدّم مشروعه لوزارة (فكان هناك أربعة مرشّحين لكلّ وزارة). ثمّ قُيِّمت العروض في الصفّ، وعلى أساس المشروع وطريقة عرضه أُسندت الحقيبة إلى الوزير المختصّ.

وعند تعادل تلميذين، كان يطلب من أحدهما أن يستلم حقيبة وزاريّة ثانية، كونه أثبت جدارة في إعداد برنامجه والدفاع عن أفكاره.

Fiers d’être Libanais!

Pour commémorer notre indépendance et pour favoriser le sentiment d’appartenance à notre pays, les élèves de la classe de EB4 ont réalisé des acrostiches (Jeu d’écriture poétique) à partir du mot “LIBAN”. Nous laissons les photos exprimer tout le plaisir, la joie et la fierté ressentis par les élèves et souhaitons à tous une bonne fête de l’indépendance!

غادرت إلى الولايات المتحدة الإميركيّة السيدة هلين ضو مديرة العلاقات العامة في مدرسة الحكمة هاي سكول في عين سعاده والمديرة التنفيذيّة والعضو المؤسس  ل SAGESSE FOUNDATION – MARY MOTHER OF WISDOM     لمؤسسة الحكمة - مريم أم الحكمة 

Sagesse High school would like to congratulate Sister Mary Delourdes on her retirement. We have valued her as a colleague and her hard work and diligence have greatly benefited our school.

As she will be leaving the position of the Fundraising Coordinator, we wish her the best in her future deeds.

في إطار تعزيز التعاون والترابط بين اللبنانيين في دول الاغتراب واللبنانيين المقيمين في لبنان، تمّ تأسيس «مريم أم الحكمة/مؤسسة الحكمة» في الولايات المتحدة الأميركية لجمع المساعدات لمدارسالحكمة في لبنان، التي ستُساهم في تمكين التلامذة الذين يعانون من صعوباتٍ مالية أو صعوبات تعليمية من إكمال دراستهم. كما ستساهم بنقل أحدث الوسائل التكنولوجية التعليمية من أميركا إلى لبنان، وإلى تبادل المعرفة والخبرات والثقافات بين الطلاب في كلّ من البلدين.

 جدّد مدير مدرسة الحكمة هاي سكول الأب غابي تابت مطالبته الدولة بإعتماد البطاقة التعليميّة التي، عبرها، تساهم في تغطية جزء من الأقساط المدرسيّة، للتخفيف عن كاهل المواطن الذي يدفع الضرائب كاملة لها. وفي الوقت الذي شدّد فيه على أنّ الأهل والاساتذة والمدرسة يعملون لهدف واحد، متمثل بتربية الطلاب وتعليمهم، استهجن توجيه السهام على المدارس الخاصّة، وتحويل المدارس الكاثوليكيّة الى كبش محرقة في كلّ مرة يُحكى فيها عن زيادة الأقساط المدرسيّة.

Dear All
