Overview
The
educational mission of the Association is
to ensure the basic education with emphasis
on a moderate Islamic
education for the largest number of its
community's youth. It also aims at
giving them an integral understanding of Islam's mission and
its noble values. The goal of the Association also
is to strengthen the understanding of our Arab
heritage and to develop the spirit of
teamwork amongst each other to strengthen their sense of responsibility and
self-confidence.
 Makassed ensures
highly subsidized education in most of its
elementary schools, achieving as it has always done the essence of its mission.
Besides offering intermediate and secondary teaching at reduced
tuition fees, Makassed
has created the scholarship fund to help some students.
The Association
has recently adopted foreign languages in teaching sciences and mathematics
in the
intermediate classes, as well as
coeducation in all of its schools with the
exception of The
Girls' College that has typical programs specialized in girls'
education.
All Makassed schools are equipped with
modern science and computer laboratories,
in addition to required playgrounds, sport
halls and theatres.
In 1995 the Association won First Prize in
the International Hiroshima (Japan)
competition for peace with our own song entitled "The Sun of
Peace".
The personality of the
Makassed student
 The Makassed student is attached to his
Lebanese citizenship that is not distinct from his Arab identity. He is also
attached to Islam of which he has a modern, integral and open understanding.
Tolerant towards other races, religious beliefs and political convictions, the
Makassed student is self-confident, independent and creative in his thinking
and able to cope with the scientific and technological changes.
Being an
effective extension of the family, educational and social life, the scout
movement also plays a significant role in refining the personality of the
Makassed student and strengthens his
national attachment.
Rural teaching
 The
special committee concerned with
teaching the children of poor Muslims in rural areas had launched its
activities in 1929 by opening schools in remote villages. It was mainly
concerned with offering children a modern, ethical and religious education.
With the committee joining Makassed's Association in 1963, its schools had
become Makassed services that contains more than eight thousand students in 35
elementary schools and three intermediate schools.
