About Jesus and Mary School

Jesus and Mary School is known for providing education to young people in Lebanon. It is located in Rabweh, a town just outside the big city of Beirut. As a nonprofit school, any money it earns goes back into improving the school for its students. It is also a Catholic school, which means it teaches Christian values and traditions as part of its education.

The School's History

The Jesus and Mary School first opened its doors in 1965. It was started by Elias Farah, who was a high-ranking leader in the church known as the Archbishop of Antelias.

For many years, the school was run by a group of Sisters called the Sisters of Jesus and Mary. These sisters dedicated their lives to teaching and guiding the students.

In 2002, the ownership of the school changed. It became part of the Maronite Archdiocese of Antelias. The Maronite Church is a specific part of the Catholic Church, mainly found in Lebanon. This change meant the school continued its mission under the guidance of the Maronite church leaders.
