We are a Christian Orthodox School affiliated to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Beirut.
Our mission is to serve members of the surrounding community in particular and the nation in
general, to whichever social stratum they belong and without discrimination, in the fields
of education and teaching, in order to build the personality of a human being who believes
in God, who belongs to the nation, who is an active (is a Catalyst) member in the society,
who achieves in his/her self the spiritual, social, moral, and cultural values, and who is
qualified to attain university academic level.
Accordingly, our school constitutes a space for knowledge acquisition in a climate of freedom
that allows teacher and learner to explore their potential, their relationship with God, and
each other dynamics. Our mission is not limited to the simple “transmission of knowledge”;
rather we look to achieving transformations within the inner self of the person own self and
through that, within the community in the future.
Through the long established history of our school, and in order to consolidate the
confidence of its immediate and wider environment, our school preserves a dynamic
interactivity with the holistic teaching methodology due to the professionalism of its human
resources, teachers and staff, and the mastery of modern and advanced teaching methods, in
order to remain, without condescension, a place for elitism, an open forum for critical
