Holy Land Ministries exists “to glorify God and provide an excellent education in the heart of the Holy Land” through the operation of two Christian Schools, one in Hebron and the other in Bethlehem, both located in what is often referred to as Palestine. HLM’s involvement in the region began in 1954 with the founding of the Hebron Home & School. This school was established with an orphanage for boys, but over the years has evolved into a Christian elementary school for boys and girls. Arabic is the language of instruction and the curriculum is provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Education. The Bethlehem Christian Academy opened in 2014, and operates under the authority of the Palestinian Ministry of Education, using American curriculum and English as the language of Instruction. Both schools are committed to “bringing the truth of the Gospel message to our students through the ministry of providing outstanding education.”
