Bethlehem Evangelical Academy (pre-K through 12)

In June of 2012 we began construction of our new school in Beit Sahour, an area just outside of Bethlehem. Our first classes began in August of 2014, with Pre-K thru First grade. We expanded grades slowly and are now teaching grades Pre-K through 12. Our American christian curriculum is focused on developing superior language skills in both English and Arabic- something no other school in the area is doing. We have a mix of Muslim and Christian students in our student body. What an opportunity… to show the love and truth of the Biblical message in the very birthplace of our Lord!

This school, with our bi-lingual curriculum, is where we need volunteer help to successfully advance our mission.

Hamza

Hamza dealt with a blow that is hard to imagine for many of us; his father was killed in a workplace accident. Rather than tell him the truth, his family told him that his father had gone abroad for a job opportunity. He is an inquisitive kid and it wasn’t long before he knew something was not right. After persistent questioning, his family finally told him the truth. The loss of his father, along with the deception, caused a downward spiral in his grades and behavior at school. The school administration along with the entire staff poured themselves into this young man’s life and he began to slowly recover from his loss. Hamza still misses his father every day, but with his friends and teachers encouragement he is beginning to find his smile again.  

Ziyad

Ziyad joined us in kindergarten, and was a normal, happy boy. His life got challenging though when his mother was diagnosed with some severe mental health issues, fighting a battle with anxiety and depression. Life at home became a challenge. She got the help she needed, but it was hard on Ziyad. Our teaching staff was aware of this situation and came along side to love and encourage him as much as they could. With their extra care and attention, he was able to cope successfully with this situation. Ziyad is now doing well and is actively developing a newfound love for art. He has also developed many close relationships with his classmates. (We understand his mother is doing much better as well.)
