About Antonine University

The monastery in Lebanon has always been a school. In fact, Lebanon has for centuries owed to the Church in general and to monasteries in particular its cultural and educational development, its didactic art, as well as its spiritual, literary and artistic heritage. Its own identity, civilization and social fabric are greatly influenced by what the clergy offered. It was monasteries that hosted the first schools, the first libraries, printing activities, publishing houses, works of art, and cultural, and artistic exhibitions.

The Church was the major protagonist in the Nahda, the renaissance in Arab thought. The role of ecclesiastical institutions was decisive in the revival of the Arab language and literature after a long state of torpor known as Inhitat or decadence.

It is worth mentioning that from the very beginning, the Church has been concerned about helping gifted children of poor families. While well-off families had to contribute to the tuition fees of their own children, those of the needy and orphans, the Church generously provided free education. The 1736 Synod of Mount Lebanon commanded not only free education, but also free clothing and food.

It should also be noted that in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the Church which is a mother, has always endeavored to compensate for the absence of social welfare by creating schools, retirement homes, and hospitals, and others.

Since its foundation towards the end of the seventeenth century, The Maronite Antonine Order has always regarded teaching and educating the youth as a mission and a sphere of its parochial activity. A school was almost always geographically linked to each of the monasteries.

The Antonine University would like to locate itself in the midst of this famous ecclesiastical tradition. Being an heir to such a glorious past, it aims to maintain a secular, salutary, and civilizing mission.
