Mar Elias Educational Institutions
Ibillin - Galilee
"You may feel powerless to bring change to our part of the world, but you are not. Start with the people around you,Dream,Then work to make your dreams come true."
- Archbishop Elias Chacour
In the heart of Galilee, one of the world's most culturally and historically important regions, the MEEI, guided by its founder, Archbishop Emeritus Elias Chacour, aims to put its educational programs in the appropriate context for its students to grow and thrive in this historical, geopolitical, and cultural landscape. Considering all the multiple challenges and threats facing the larger community in Galilee, the MEEI builds on a unique set of strengths and opportunities while hosting the largest number of students amongst all Christian schools in our region. Its combination of educational achievement and Christian mission gives the MEEI a special position in Galilee and the larger region, unmatched by any other schools in the region.
Mar Elias Educational Institutions include a kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school.

Young children are given a 'head start' - nurturing hearts, minds and spirits.
Children who complete kindergarten can directly enrol in the Elementary School which serves over 1150 students.
The high school has grown to almost 1,200 students from forty-five villages, and has one of the highest academic ratings of all schools in Israel.
