Dear Community members,

ACS is happy to announce the beginning of Framingham Master's Program for the school year 2009-2010. The program was offered in previous years at ACS and it proved to be a positive experience for many. It allowed teachers who were hired as local teachers to stay in Lebanon and earn a Master of Education Degree from a US Accredited College.

The program offers a Master of Education Degree with a concentration in International Teaching. It is the most popular degree program that the University offers abroad because it appeals to teachers and educators at all levels (Pre-K through Secondary).

 This program is open to ACS and Non-ACS members who hold a BA. 

Applicants need to submit the below required documents plus a $100.00 application fee. (Applications can be downloaded from the college website:www.framingham.edu/dgce/iep).

1.      A completed, signed application form.

2.       An official undergraduate degree transcript.  It must be in English.  If not, a translation must be done.  If a person graduated from a foreign university, their credentials would need to be evaluated by an accredited evaluation agency to determine that they have the equivalent of a US Bachelor’s degree.

     3.     Two letters of recommendation.  One letter must be from someone in a supervisory level (these forms can also be downloaded from website).

4.        A complete resume.

5.    A 500 word essay outlining your personal philosophy of education and teaching practice.

This Framingham program is an intensive program consisting of 8 core courses and one elective, given on ACS campus (not online), spread over the span of a year and a half. Every two courses run for a ten day period over two weeks time, and these two courses are usually run simultaneously during school vacation periods (Christmas, Easter, Early/Late Summer). Below is a list of the 8 core courses plus the elective, distributed over the vacation periods:

    The cost of each course (based on 20 students) is around $520. The cost drops as the number of applicants rises. Some of the courses require textbooks; therefore their cost will be added to the course cost.

If you are interested in joining the December 2009 courses, please submit your papers to the coordinator of the program Mrs. Salwa Wardeh Madbak before The end of November 2009. Her contact address is the following:
