Dear ACS Community, I want to thank you, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, for your generous gifts. Beyond the tuitions you pay, your extra financial support is essential to offer special activities and programs as well as scholarships and so much more that make ACS, ACS. Your contributions allow us to continue to upgrade and improve the spaces in which our students live and learn, in our outdoor classrooms and in our aging facility; to being taught by faculty who teach specifically the “ACS Way”; and to continue to enhance and expand our academic program. ACS, for years has accomplished so much with so little. In order to continue to sustain our programs, maintain our facilities and appreciate the gifts of our faculty, we ask you to do the best you can to support the school. The pace and scope of change I have seen our ACS experience over the last two decades is nothing short of breathtaking. We have successfully navigated financial and political challenges over that time and prospered, in part because of the strength of our leadership and because of YOU! As a fellow trustee remarked to me, and I paraphrase: “an ACS education is expensive, but think of how expensive ignorance is to Lebanon and to the world.” Congrats to all of you for 2016-17 annual gifts and here’s to doing it again this year! My very best wishes to all,
Nina Joukowsky Köprülü ‘79 President Board of Trustees

Dear all, I found myself in a conversation during our New Family Orientation with another colleague and a new family with the three of us dialoguing about the culture of ACS Beirut and what makes us who we are. At the conclusion of our discussion, my colleague noted that what she appreciates most about ACS Beirut is that at its core, everything we do, every decision we make, every action we take, is based on what’s best for our students. The new parents affirmed that this is why they had made the choice to come here. I smiled. I smiled because a myriad of examples from this past year came to mind: The completion of our solar panel project to decrease our reliance on electricity and set an example for our students on how renewable energy is a part of our future. • The realization of our nature based playground that surrounds our youngest with an early appreciation of the natural environment and the space to explore. • Continued scholarships and financial aid to increase our commitment in serving local communities. • Renovated and dedicated spaces for learning to best support our students. •
The examples could go on and on. The central core to all these additions and changes is: How can we continuously improve the learning of our students? And the bedrock upon which all these efforts, efforts that now stretch back over 112 years, is our stakeholder support. Without your support the improvements are delayed, we lose focus, the program can become stuck and we can find ourselves slowly lurching toward mediocrity. In this intensely competitive world of international schools, we see mediocrity as the first step on the pathway to becoming obsolete. In the pages that follow, you will see that your generosity has been vitally important to the school that ACS is today – full of bright, motivated young women and men imagining intriguing, engaged futures, taught by a talented and creative faculty, supported by an equally amazing staff. Every day, the magic of an ACS education unfolds on campus like a sunrise on the Corniche. Each contribution is stretched to the limit, to support our students directly with improved facilities, new programs, financial aid and indirectly with our professional development programs, conferences, guest speakers and enhanced student programs. For the many different ways that you have ensured that ACS Beirut continues to thrive, both today and in the future, please accept our deepest appreciation and thanks. From all of us who learn, grow and play at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea – we fully appreciate how lucky we are, and how important your contributions are to our work and our continuing success. We are not done yet; not even close, and it is incredible to be a part of a community that believes that what we do is in the best interest of the future. With deep gratitude for all you do,

INCOME SOURCES & EXPENSES Every year, the full cost of educating a student is greater than the revenue from tuition fees. The difference is often referred to as ‘the gap’ and is offset by the Annual Fund. ACS works hard to bridge this gap and to keep the costs down for its families.

ENDOWED FUNDS vs. ANNUAL FUND
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Think of ACS as a large investment, like buying a house. You have to make payments on your mortgage, but you also need to keep the lights on. In the world of ACS fundraising, the endowed funds are like the long-term investment of mortgage payments, while the annual fund is like the immediate need to pay the utility bills.

ACS NAMED SCHOLARSHIPS Empowering youth through quality education is of utmost importance to ACS. As we serve Lebanon and the world community with understanding and compassion, we know that not all families have the means to send their children to ACS. Fortunately we have donors who have committed to providing a scholarship for a child(ren) through Grade 12. These scholarships will give the recipients a chance to build themselves a better future, as well as give back to their communities. 57 students received some type of financial aid or a scholarship during 2016-2017. ACS distributed a total of $530,224 on scholarships and with your continuous support we hope to increase this amount next year. ALI JAMMAL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP Established in 2007 Established in February 2007, this scholarship is designated to provide tuition assistance for a male or female student enrolled in or planning to enroll in the American Community School Beirut for grade six all the way to grade twelve.
THE SWANSON SCHOLARSHIP Established in 2011 Robert O. Swanson ‘54 and Cynthia J. Shevlin pledged the sum of $43,000 annually for seven years starting June 1st, 2011 on behalf of The Swanson and Shevlin Charitable Foundation to The Swanson Scholarship Fund at the American Community School Beirut. The scholarship will fund the education of two students from sixth grade onward by providing each with a 100% plus scholarship. The scholarship recipients will be considered according to their financial need and merit, as well as their motivation to move on to higher education after receiving an ACS Diploma.

ACS ENDOWED FUNDS The school’s endowment and endowed funds generate a perpetual stream of revenue that help to ensure ACS’s long term financial security.

RECIPIENTS OF THE ACS SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS (JUNE 2017)
THE FARAH FAMILY ATHLETIC & LEADERSHIP AWARD Adam Zabadne This award goes to a student athlete who excelled in the athletic program, demonstrated sportsmanship, leadership, commitment and athletic accomplishment both at school and in the local community. Adam was committed to training and running the Beirut Marathon in support of raising money and awareness for an NGO focused on mental health issues in Lebanon. He not only ran those 42 kilometers but he encouraged and worked with a group of classmates, teammates, coaches and friends. They joined him for different legs of the marathon, supporting him especially since just a few hours earlier he returned from an overseas sports tournament.
THE WALTER PROSSER AWARD Layla Tabbal Walter Prosser selflessly served for years on the ACS’s Board of Trustees. He was a problem-solver, a well-read and cultured person, a life-long learner and responsible. This award goes to a student who exhibits this spirit. The award recipient must have very high academic standing as well as demonstrate exceptional application of their learning in contribution to school and community. More than just a bookish scholar, Layla has a passion for social justice and a ready smile. She engages the world around her, driven to be a part of everything, as a key player rather than a bystander. A frequent comment by faculty is that this student operates at 110% across 110% of a life. Layla’s activities include working with service organizations, participating on a team sport, performing in music groups, even marching in a demonstration. She has an insatiable intellectual curiosity, thriving at MUN and leading National Honor Society activities and all while smiling.

THE BLAIR HARCOURT AWARD Rayana Azar This award goes to one senior with academic and athletic distinction who is a talented athlete, exhibits leadership skills and sportsmanship in addition to a courteous and genteel attitude. Rayana is passionate and dedicated to athletics. Those around her see her passion and it brings them joy just watching her. Her coaches and teachers have nothing but positive comments to say. She plays through her injuries, shows up to all practices, always tries her best, and always has a smile on her face. She encompasses the true spirit of a student-athlete and an ACS Knight.
THE FINE ARTS AWARD Leen Harazallah This award’s recipient has a G.P.A. of 3.5 or higher in the Fine Arts courses taken at ACS, shows outstanding effort and achievement in one or more of the Fine Arts (e.g., Music, Drama, Visual Art, etc.). The recipient would have participated in extracurricular events based in the Arts and/or used his/ her own talents to benefit the school. Leen has a strong commitment to social justice and cares deeply and for others. She worked with underprivileged children for a CAS project and went to Indonesia for Week Without Walls. As a learner, she is described as fearless, goal-oriented, thoughtful and reflective. In the last six years, she was in five plays, holding roles as a lead and supporting actor, writing, directing, imagining, choreographing, practicing, studying and incorporating elements of each experience into her life.
