What really happens behind the school gates?
Based on two decades of experience as the principal of a private school, this memoir takes readers behind the scenes of a world rarely seen by parents or students.
Every school day brings its share of challenges: student crises, staff conflicts, difficult decisions, unexpected encounters, and moments when compassion must compete with authority.
Set in a Lebanese private school yet touching on universal human experiences, these true stories reveal the hidden realities of educational leadership and the emotional weight carried by those entrusted with guiding young lives.
Through memorable students, complex situations, and sometimes surprising events, Behind the School Gates offers an honest and deeply human look at education, responsibility, and the people who shape the future.
