Yeprem and Martha Philibosian Armenian Evangelical College

The Yeprem and Martha Philibosian Armenian Evangelical College (A.E.C.)

(Armenian: Հայ Աւետարանական Գոլէճ, Arabic: المدرسة الأرمنية الانجيلية العالية) was founded in 1923 in Beirut, Lebanon.

Dr. Zaven Messerlian has been the principal of the school since 1967 and in 2007, he got a tribute for his 40 years of service in Los Angeles.

[1] The beginnings of the Armenian Evangelical College date to the early 1920s (official founding 1923), when, from simple origins among the growing immigrant group, a school was organized, which in time developed into a boys' high school.

In 1934 the two high schools were combined and were governed by a board of managers initially representing the entire Armenian Evangelical community in Beirut; it came under the sole jurisdiction of the First Armenian Evangelical Church of Beirut.
