Armenian Schools in Lebanon

In its hey days Beirut had many Armenian schools. Reports claim that the number of the Armenian schools  particularly in greater Beirut and in Lebanon in general,  and the enrollment of the students in these schools have dwindled precipitously. The reasons for the decline are obvious. The political uncertainty, the decline in the economy and the emigration have altered the character of the Lebanese Armenian Community once considered the bastion of the Western Armenian Diaspora.

Yesterday at the commemoration of the 108th Armenian Genocide commemoration by the Armenian community of the greater Beirut took place  in the Antelias Catholicosate campus. Each Armenian school presented a wreath. These are the Armenians schools that had taken part in the commemorations. I do not think that there was an Armenian school that did not take part. These were the Armenian schools that were pictured participating in the commemoration.  

They are not presented here in any order.
