History
The Collège des Frères Mont La Salle (MLS) is located in the Metn coastline. The complex opened its doors on October 10, 1972, to accommodate 1,972 students, from the 4th grade classes to the Terminale (senior high-school), from the 3 colleges of the Brothers of the region: Sacred Heart Gemmayze, Notre-Dame Furn el Chebbak and the Ecole Sainte Marie Beit-Mery.
During the tragic civil war events experienced by Lebanon, the college was targeted by both sides. In October 1991, the school opened the Institute of Electronics, with financial assistance from the European Community. The Collège des Frères Mont La Salle is a school institution founded according to the Lebanese ministerial decree N ° 4004 of September 25, 1972. It is an "open institution" because, while displaying as a Catholic establishment, faithful to its origins, it welcomes the young people from all walks of life and from all faiths. While being trilingual, teaching is rooted particularly in the Arab and French cultures.
The Collège des Frères Mont La Salle is approved by the French Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research.

Why this record matters
The phrase “international school in Ain Saadeh, Lebanon” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q22329671. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972 and 1991.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
