College Notre Dame de Louaize Implements Skoolee Tools


College Notre Dame de Louaize is in the process of incorporating Skoolee Tools as its vanguard school management and student information software.
Aligned with and located next to Notre Dame University in Zouk Mosbeh, Lebanon, the school has a student enrollment of around 4000 students.

College Notre Dame de Louaize will use Skoolee Tools base solution with add-on modules to help school personnel manage all academic, administrative, and extracurricular activities. With Skoolee Scheduling module, administrators will be able to create conflict-free timetables for course schedules.

Reverend Father Naji Khalil expects the school to benefit substantially from the community building nature of the solution: “Skoolee Tools integrates the diverse aspects of the school’s functions and needs, and consolidates it into a community. It has everything we need, in a much better way than the disparate applications we’ve been using so far.”

Skoolee Tools allows all members of the school community to interact: from principals to teachers and back, teachers to students and parents, and parents with the school.

Skoolee Tools is specifically designed for private, international and progressive public schools in the Middle East and North Africa. The software is uniquely tailored to the Arabic, English, and/or French administrative requirements of schools in the region.

Father Khalil concludes, “I believe that, with Skoolee, you’re doing a great service to Lebanon by leveraging its educational and civil strengths.”

International School Al-Koura in Beitroumine, Lebanon, has formalized an agreement with White Mountain Technologies for Skoolee Tools School Management and Student Information Software.

Skoolee Tools software is uniquely tailored for private, international and progressive public schools in the Middle East and North Africa. The system is available in Arabic, English and French to meet the administrative requirements of schools in the region.


Skoolee Tools will serve as the front line administration and communication system for International School Al-Koura, an English school which offers both the Lebanese Baccalaureate and the High School Diploma degrees. The school is a member of AMS Lebanon and a sister school to the Al-Mawakeb Schools in Dubai (Al-Garhoud and Al-Barsha)

"Because Skoolee Tools will allow us to become efficient, we will be able to focus on the more critical aspects of education," explains Aref Akar, Chairman of the Board. "We constantly seek to attain higher levels of excellence, and by adopting this new system, we will be facilitating procedures for teachers, parents and students alike."

International School Al-Koura will use two types of Skoolee Tools modules: "Essentials" include basic modules for agendas, assignments, communications, conduct, grading, performance and more, while "Add-Ons" offers advanced analytics and reporting, registration and fees, facility use, and services, such as transportation, medical and more.

With Skoolee Scheduling, the school will also be able to create 100% conflict-free course schedules.

Rima Nasr Ayash, Principal, agrees that, "with Skoolee Tools, we will be able to adapt schedules to student needs and curriculum requirements. By taking advantage of what White Mountain has to offer, we will spend less time on paper work and more time among our students."

White Mountain will implement Skoolee Tools at International School Al-Koura during the month of November.
