What really happens behind the school gates?
Based on two decades of experience in a private school, this memoir explores the challenges, tensions, and moral dilemmas faced by a school principal - often far beyond what parents or students can imagine.
Behind daily routines lie difficult decisions: staff conflicts, student crises, social pressures, and moments where authority must confront humanity.
Set within a Lebanese private school, these true stories reveal a world that is both deeply rooted in its context and strikingly universal.
Through these pages emerge vulnerable students, complex situations, and the quiet weight carried by those responsible for guiding them.
