The Beirut School of Translators and Interpreters aims to train high-level translators and interpreters whose primary language is Arabic. In keeping with Lebanon's cultural history and situation, it strives to promote a balanced Arabic-French-English trilingualism.

In addition, the School attempts to provide its undergraduate students with two qualities that are essential for translators and interpreters:

  • Learning to work, that is to say, to understand, to think and to express oneself
  • Acquire the notion of system: any fact - linguistic, economic, legal, religious, environmental, etc. - is only understandable when situated within its system; the translator or interpreter must be able to grasp how each society or culture organizes these facts in its own way.
