Armenian Evangelical Central High School

Ten years later, it moved to its present location in Ashrafieh, eastern Beirut.

On May 16, 1922, the first branch of the school started operating in a hut named “Adana Camp” in Beirut.

Through Reverend Henry H. Riggs' generous donation, and in memory of his wife and daughter, a new building was built to serve as a church and classroom in the Ashrafieh area.

In 1969, the kindergarten and elementary building was completed, and included a memorial hall dedicated to the victims of an accident during a school trip that took place on April 1, 1960, costing the life of 3 teachers and 18 students.

The school celebrated its 60th anniversary in 1982 with commemorative events and its 65th in 1987 with a concert of performing arts.
