Our heritage
British and American Quakers have been joined in support for Quaker education in the Middle East since 1872. Sybil and Eli Jones from New England founded the school at Ramallah, and convinced Theophilus Waldmeier to become a Quaker. Waldmeier then went on to found Brummana High School, with funding from English and American Friends.
