The educational system in Lebanon is based on the French Baccalaureate system. Lebanon's network of elementary and secondary public and private schools provides a strong foundation for students. Formal schooling covers a 12-year cycle. Children start school at three years old, but the first two years are kindergarten style. Private sector schooling accounts for more than half of all students in the country. All schools teach at least two languages: either Arabic and English or Arabic and French. There are also Armenian, Dutch, German, Italian and other community schools. School tuitions vary between private and public schools.
