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 the financial assistance from the European Community. Its goal: to prepare superior technicians with the ability and competence to contribute to the reconstruction of Lebanon. 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. The training it gives revolves around the opening of the minds of young people to respect the major cultural and spiritual currents. While being trilingual, teaching is rooted particularly in the Arab and French cultures. The teaching of English is thorough; the large number of students who are regularly admitted to continue their studies in English-speaking universities is a striking proof of this.
