Mar Elias High School
  Support Scholarships! $275/year (or $28/month) will support a student enrolled at Mar Elias High School.
In September 1982 the first 80 students of Mar Elias High School assembled with their four teachers to begin a wonderful story of excellence in education for the youth of Galilee. The high school has grown to 1,200 students in 2010-11, with a waiting list of many more.
Every day at Mar Elias High School, students arrive by buses and private automobiles from 70 villages in a 50 mile radius of Ibillin. They travel such a distance because of the high quality of education the students receive at Mar Elias.
The students gather in the parking lot at 8:15 every morning. One of the High School Staff Members speaks to the gathered students for fifteen minutes about their common values and aspirations as well as about their distinctive traditions. As a result of these daily presentations the students are inspired to believe and live by very basic truths. "God does not kill. All are born as babies created in the image of God. Christians, Muslims, and Jews are blood brothers, children of Abraham. Peace with justice is the dream and the right of all human beings." Such truths provide the students with guiding principles that will last a life time.
