    At age fifteen, Gibran returned to his homeland for a three-year course in Arabic literature and French at the Maronite Collège de la Sagesse. The year is derived from his January 1883 birth date and the source's statement that he returned at age fifteen; coordinates represent Beirut because the source does not give the school's historical campus coordinates.
