Talitha Kumi School

Talitha Kumi - German Evangelical Lutheran School (Arabic: طاليثا قومي),[1] is a German international school in Beit Jala, West Bank, in the State of Palestine.

[3] Students may obtain the Tawjihi and/or the Deutsche Internationale Abiturprüfung [de] (DIAP).

[5] The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land operates the school.

"[3] or "Little girl, I tell you to get up," a phrase stated by Jesus Christ when he resurrected Jairus's daughter.

The school's area became a part of the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration, and then British Mandate of Palestine.

The post-Israel Talitha Kumi originally operated in Jordanian-controlled territory.

As of 2015 the percentage of Muslim students is increasing because many Christians are leaving Palestine and due to other demographic changes.

[6] As of circa 2009 many students were impeded from getting to school due to difficulty in going to and from their home villages.
