Our History
Founded in 2016
The International Sports Institute (ISI) was established with a clear vision: to redefine sports education in Lebanon by making modern, practical, and career-focused learning accessible to aspiring sports professionals.
The institute was founded by Mr. Ramy Rizk Rizk, whose academic journey spans between Finance, Educational Research, and Business Administration. Driven by his belief that education has the power to transform lives, strengthen communities, and create meaningful social impact, he envisioned an institution where passion for sports could be combined with academic excellence and professional development.
ISI continues to contribute to the development of Lebanon's sports industry
Recognizing the growing demand for qualified sports professionals and the lack of specialized vocational education in the sports sector, ISI introduced a new educational model built around practical experience, scientific knowledge, and internationally aligned teaching methodologies.
Since opening its doors, ISI has continuously evolved its academic offerings by introducing accredited certifications, modernizing its curriculum, and integrating emerging educational trends into its teaching approach. In 2019, the institute expanded its presence by opening a second branch in Zahle, enabling even more students across Lebanon to pursue quality sports education.
Today, ISI continues to contribute to the development of Lebanon's sports industry by graduating highly qualified trainers, coaches, strength and conditioning specialists, and sports professionals equipped with both theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience.
As the institute continues to grow, its commitment remains unchanged: empowering future generations through education, innovation, and excellence in sports.
