Three Annual Intakes with Rosedale International Education
In partnership with Rosedale International Education, Universal School delivers OSSD courses in three 60-hour, three-month cycles per year — allowing students to earn their Canadian credential alongside their Lebanese studies at a pace that works for their academic pathway.
Special Events & School Traditions
These recurring events and annual traditions are the cultural heartbeat of Universal School — moments every student and family looks forward to, year after year.
A well-planned school year is the foundation of everything we do. When families know what is coming — every celebration, every assessment, every tradition — they can walk alongside their children with confidence and joy throughout the entire year.
