Endowment Fund
The Brummana High School “I Serve” Endowment Fund was launched during the schools 150th anniversary, in 2023. Whatever you give to it will remain in capital form in perpetuity and generate interest to provide financial aid for those children whose parents could not otherwise have their children educated at the school.
Bursaries
As well as working towards an endowment fund large enough to provide bursaries for all students who need help in future, Brummana High School does its best to support families in greatest need now.
To help current students stay at Brummana High School when their family circumstances have hit hard times, choose this option.
Botanic Garden Project
This project is creating a unique collection of native Lebanese species throughout the school campus, together with several educational gardens, themed plant trails, and miniature biomes.

LEGACY GIVING
Brummana High School (BHS) is owned by British Quakers under the auspices of the Quaker International Educational Trust (QuIET). For over 150 years it has brought Quaker values to thousands of students, parents and staff living in a region plagued by conflict.
Lebanon has always been at a cultural crossroads, and that makes for a rich and complex society that its young people need to learn how to navigate. BHS is unique in Lebanon because of its Quaker ethos that provides the moral framework for both academic excellence and service to the community. Tolerance, respect and conflict resolution are all practised as an integral part of school life. But there is more to it than that. Many who work at or have attended the school refer to it as a home. Our school means a lot to local people!
Sometimes it seems a miracle that after decades of wars, invasions, national disunity and economic crises, our school is still going strong. In order to help BHS thrive for another 150 years and beyond, we have set up an endowment fund and we would be delighted if you could consider including us in your will. Your legacy gift can be for a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or even a gift of property or assets. A legacy is a powerful way to benefit future generations far beyond your lifetime.
It is important to get independent advice when making or amending a will but if we can answer any questions, please get in touch.
Together, we can make a difference and ensure that our school remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for our students and the community.
