Overview Paragraph

Khalil Gibran International Academy (KGIA) is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school that offers students the opportunity to study the Arabic and French languages, and explore careers that require bilingual and multicultural skills such as international business, diplomacy, linguistics, journalism and other related fields. In developing these skills, students will be well-prepared for college, careers, and positions as civic leaders in their community. Our students graduate with an understanding of different cultural perspectives, a love of learning, and a desire for excellence. We are committed to providing a challenging education where students can reach their full potential and become effective leaders in the world.
