History

In 1839, French Jesuit missionaries came to Beirut and established a modest catholic school. Later, in 1855, the Jesuits founded a bigger school in Ghazir, which would later be moved to Beirut in 1875 to merge with the first school. Legal authorities quickly graced the new school with the title of "university", which allowed it to grant
