Universal School's international story is not just history — it is a living network of connections across Lebanon, Cyprus, Greece, Canada, and beyond that we continue to grow and nurture today.

Historical International Presence

The Lebanese Civil War forced Universal School to rebuild — and in rebuilding, we expanded across borders. The Green Hill International School branches in Cyprus and Greece created lasting connections with the Lebanese diaspora that define our international identity to this day.
