SCHOOL OF HOPE

Teaching Hope to Refugee Children

More than 300,000 Syrian refugee kids in Lebanon have little or no access to formal education.

Local schools are full, and refugees are much less likely to be accepted. Without education, their opportunities are severely limited.

School of Hope was created to provide a Christ-centered education for these children—most from Muslim backgrounds, many having missed years of schooling.

They study Math, Arabic, English, and Science, while also attending daily chapel and prayer times. All this takes place in a safe environment, where they are cared for by Christian teachers who love them. 

Your gift of $55 per month provides a child with a gospel-centered education, covering tuition, books, school supplies, and healthy snacks. It also means they will hear about Jesus! 

Right now, more than 200 students attend School of Hope across three locations. Only half of them are sponsored. 

Would you give the gift of education to a refugee child?

SPONSOR A CHILD

You will receive a photo and basic information about the child you sponsor, along with periodic updates.

You may also send occasional cards or small gifts (under $10) to encourage them and let them know you are praying for them!

SCHOOL OF HOPE LOCATIONS

School of Hope began in Beirut in 2015 in response to the growing number of refugee children with no access to education. What started with just 19 kids and 3 teachers has now grown into a full-time school with more than 30 teachers serving more than 200 children and their families from pre-K through Grade 8.

Since then, the ministry has expanded. We launched a second school in Tripoli following the influx of Syrian Alawite refugees into North Lebanon in 2025. A third opened in Jbeil in 2026, in partnership with Arise International.
