Rawdat El Zuhur was established in 1952 by Elizabeth Nasir, a teacher and social worker who dedicated her life to helping children in need.  The school began in Elizabeth’s home and has grown into one of East Jerusalem’s most notable co-educational institutions.  Our school now serves 221 students, and employs 23 teachers and four workers.  It aims at bringing up a new generation that is aware of the principles of good citizenship and is concerned for the environment, capable of thinking creatively, and can analyze logically and critically.  Students at Rawdat El Zuhur should be ready to offer and accept positive criticism, and excel in performance; and, additionally, should be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to assume leadership in a democratic society which they will develop and preserve.  It serves mainly the lower-income community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
