Mr. Ahmad Akoum
Excellence is built one challenge at a time.
Welcome to the Secondary Division of Rafic Hariri High School. We are committed to providing a high-quality, student-centered education that supports both academic excellence and personal growth. During these important years, students develop confidence, responsibility, and independence while strengthening their critical thinking, collaboration, and inquiry skills. Guided by values of respect, integrity, empathy, and strong partnerships with families, we strive to create a supportive and challenging environment that prepares students to contribute meaningfully to an ever-changing world.
RHHS Secondary Division
The Secondary Division offers a diverse and academically rigorous learning experience through multiple pathways, including the Lebanese Baccalaureate with its four branches, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), the French Programme, and the American Programme. Across these pathways, students engage in meaningful learning experiences designed to deepen knowledge, strengthen critical thinking, and develop skills across subject areas, with a strong emphasis on inquiry, conceptual understanding, and real-world application. Learning environments encourage independence, collaboration, reflection, and student voice, supporting learners as they take increasing ownership of their academic and personal growth. Opportunities
for growth are further enriched through a wide range of extracurricular activities and leadership experiences, including the Eco Club, community service initiatives, senior committees, student-led projects, HARMUN, and school events. These experiences foster responsibility, initiative, and a strong sense of community, enabling students to explore their interests, contribute positively to society, and develop the confidence needed to succeed beyond the classroom.
