Collège Central Jounieh Implements Skoolee Tools

Achrafieh Beirut, Lebanon, April 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Reverend Fr. Wadih Al Skayem, Rector of Collège Central Jounieh and author, is an avid supporter of integrating technology into Lebanon’s schools. His school, a private Catholic institution established by the Lebanese Maronite Order (l'Ordre Libanais Maronite) in 1966, enrolls over 2300 students.

Fr. Al Skayem explains, "Skoolee Tools aligns with our vision of how technology should support school administration and parents. We want to use technology to community build, to ensure efficiency, and to enhance the quality of instruction for our students."

Using Skoolee Tools, staff manage all academic, administrative, and extracurricular tasks online or over the school’s local area network (LAN). The school’s I.T. Department generally serves as software administrator.

White Mountain implemented Skoolee Tools at Collège Central Jounieh within one month, working closely with administrators and I.T. to define customization needs, unique business rules, and data requirements.

Ghassan Abboud, Managing Director of White Mountain, describes Skoolee Tools as versatile and rich. "We customize the software with maximum results, so that schools get what they most need. After that, we take a systematic approach to customer support with regular follow ups."

Skoolee Tools is designed to meet the needs of international, private, and progressive public schools in the Arabian Gulf (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen), the Levant (Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria), and North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia).

Interface language options include English, Arabic, and French, as well as customization of other languages.
