Meanwhile, in 1921 an Armenian Girls' American School had been established, under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. In 1934 the two High Schools were combined and were governed by a Board of Managers representing at first the entire Armenian Evangelical Community in Beirut.
