Al Khawarizmi Institute
Al Khawarizmi Institute was established in late 2011. It has taken upon itself since then to present all the experiences gained in science, research, and the practice of the teaching profession, with the aim of maximizing the students’ benefit in the shortest possible period of time. The efforts exerted over the ten years have yielded a good reputation and great trust among our students and parents, as Al Khawarizmi Institute has become a destination for students from the areas close to it with actual attendance in the classrooms, or from all Lebanese regions and from the Arab countries, where students can study remotely using applications such as "Zoom" and others.
Besides the international languages and computer courses that it provides, Al Khawarizmi is an authorized Cambridge and IELTS training and exam venue. Moreover, Al Khawarizmi Institute is proud to have obtained, since the end of 2021, a license from the United Kingdom – Britain to teach self-development courses in the New Generation of Neuro-linguistic Programming – IUNLP and to disseminate them to all students of all ages and to parents too because of their great benefit to the self and society and to achieve success in all aspects of life.
Where we teach
Our main branch in Simkanieh (the Chouf), a second branch in Aley, and live classes on Zoom for students elsewhere in the country and abroad:
- Beirut (Mar Elias) — paused for now. Students from Beirut study with us online or at our other branches.
- Simkanieh, Chouf — our main branch, on the main road beside Irfan school and facing Lefco market. Open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm.
- Aley — our second branch.
- Choueifat — paused for now. Choueifat sits in the Aley District, where our Aley branch is.
What we teach
Languages for every level — English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Arabic for non-native speakers. Preparation for the exams Lebanese students actually sit: IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, ACT, EEE and Cambridge English. And beyond the classroom subjects, Business English, computer and digital design, and NLP and body language — our NLP programme is certified by the British Board of NLP, teaches 55+ IUNLP techniques and includes live client practice.
How courses are arranged
We assess your level before you join a group — a free written placement test of 20–30 minutes — because the right starting point matters more than the timetable. Language courses follow six CEFR levels, A1 to C2; as a reference, a level is about 20 hours of class plus an end-of-level exam, and every level ends with a certificate recognised by the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education. Group courses start from $150; exact length and fees depend on the course, so we confirm them with you before you enrol. Classes run in person or live on Zoom, and you can switch between the two if your circumstances change.
