Between
1963 and 1970, he completed his primary studies in the
Apostles’ College (College des Apôtres),
where he was gifted by excellent school faculties since

He
pursued his complementary studies at the public school
of Ghazir between 1970 and 1975. The start of the war
made him change schools, and it is finally at Haret
Sakher’s public high school (Jounieh) that he
got his baccalaureate of secondary studies in September
1977.
Inclined as he was to scientific fields, he pursued
his electronic technical studies until 1981. Simultaneously,
he joined St.- John the Baptist Clan of the Scouts Group
of the Apostles’ College on October 30, 1977.
This movement was a determining factor in the molding
of his life ideals.
