History

The New Marash Armenian Evangelical School started in 1930 in Nor Marash in Bourj Hammoud area. It was mainly inhabited by Armenians who came from Cilicia, Anatolia after the 1915 Armenian Genocide. The school known as the Nor Marash Armenian Evangelical School had a kindergarten and two elementary classes.

The school developed through the years from this. In 1936 Reverend Garabed Hassessian increased the number of elementary classes to six. Subsequent to this, Reverend Aram Hadidian added several more classes. In 1950, four intermediate grades of the second cycle were added. Then, in 1958, the three secondary grades of the third cycle were certified.

In 1964 the name was changed to Armenian Evangelical Shamlian-Tatigian Secondary School after Mr. and Mrs. J. Shamlian and their son Mr. G. Tatigian contributed money to the school to build a new modern building. The school compound also includes the Nor Marsh Armenian Evangelical Church.
