Mar Elias Educational Institutions

Mar Elias Educational Institutions include a kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school. The institution is under the direction of a Board which includes the founder and retired archbishop Elias Chacour. The institutions are located in Ibillin, a Palestinian Arab village in northern Israel. Palestinian Arab students from all over the Galilee gather at the institutions. The Institution serves Muslim (60%), Christian (40%), and a few Druze students, while extending an invitation to students of other religions. In December 2015, the Institution was named a "Peace Academy" of the Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL).[3]
