Students in the Chouf should not have to travel to Beirut for a serious English course. Our Simkanieh branch, on the town’s main street, brings the full Al Khawarizmi Institute programme to the heart of the Chouf — the same teachers, the same curriculum and the same certificates as our Beirut branch, minutes from home for families across the district.
Courses at our Chouf branch
- English language courses, from beginner to advanced
- French, Spanish, German, Italian and Russian, plus Arabic for non-native speakers
- IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, ACT and EEE exam preparation
- Cambridge English preparation
- Business English for working professionals
- Computer and digital design courses
- IUNLP self-development and body language training
The Simkanieh branch teaches children, school students and adults. Group timings are arranged around the school day, and new groups open through the year — ask us which level is starting next.
An institute with a track record
Al Khawarizmi Institute was established in 2011 and has taught students from every Lebanese region as well as from Arab countries abroad. It is an authorized Cambridge and IELTS training centre, and since late 2021 it has held a licence from the United Kingdom to teach the new generation of neuro-linguistic programming, IUNLP.
Study in person or online
Villages further out in the Chouf are covered too: every course can be taken online via Zoom with live teachers, so a reliable internet connection is all you need. Families often combine in-person classes for children with online classes for parents.

Why students in the Chouf choose us
Most of our Simkanieh students come with one of three goals: stronger school results, a university place that demands English, or an IELTS score for work and migration. The branch handles all three under one roof, so a family can enrol a school child, a university student and a parent in the same term without three different commutes. Being on the main street also matters in practice — students arrive by service taxi or a short drive from villages across the district, attend their class, and are home within the hour instead of losing an afternoon to a Beirut round trip.
