A Christian private school in Lezhë that describes itself as an accredited, independent, college-preparatory school for grades K through 12. In June 2026 the school marked its 15th anniversary together with the graduation of the Class of 2026. The school says it offers education in both Albanian and English and prepares students to be proficient in English; in its 2026-2027 study plan English is the first foreign language at 2-3 hours a week, while Albanian language is the main subject of the languages and communication strand, so Albanian is given here as the language of instruction. From Grade 6 students take Italian as an elective. In junior high and high school the day runs on a 4x4 block schedule: four 90-minute lessons, two semesters, with credits counted in both the US and Albanian systems. Staff, the school says, respect the person and teachings of Jesus Christ; the school supports Roma children from the communities around Lezhë with scholarships.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
