History

The school was founded in 1919 by Khalil al-Haddad (religious name Père Jacques), a Capuchin priest, as "École Saint François des Sœurs Franciscaines de la Croix". It was located at the time in Jal El Dib. In 1980 the property was transferred to Bkenneya. Since then, it has been known as VAL PÈRE JACQUES.
