WE
ARE
The AAAA (L'Association de l'Amicale des Anciens élèves du Collège Saint Joseph-Antoura) is an engaged network of former students from Collège Saint Joseph - Antoura. Since its founding in 1934, AAAA has been dedicated to fostering lifelong connections, mentorship, and support among graduates, ensuring that the spirit of the school lives on beyond the classroom. Through a dynamic combination of professional networking, and community engagement, the AAAA empowers alumni to contribute to the institution’s legacy and to support the aspirations of current students. The association has played a key role in shaping Lebanon’s cultural, political, and social landscape, with many graduates holding influential positions worldwide. By expanding global outreach and strengthening alumni bonds, the association continues to evolve while staying true to the traditions of Collège Saint Joseph.
MISSION
Since its establishment, the AAAA has remained committed to fostering a sense of solidarity and community among its members. Our mission is to support the educational, social, and cultural development of our alumni, to promote the values of the institution, and to strengthen the ties between alumni, both locally and internationally. By creating a network of support, we aim to contribute positively to the collective well-being and to the future growth of Collège Saint Joseph - Antoura.
VISION
Our vision is to become a dynamic and engaged community of former students that plays an active role in the social, cultural, and educational development of Lebanon and beyond. We strive to shape alumni relations and contribute to the institution’s mission by creating an ever-growing and active alumni network.
HISTORY
The roots of AAAA trace back to the early 20th century. In 1901, Father Saliège envisioned an alumni association that would unite former students of the college. This vision came to life in 1934 with the official founding of the association, initiated by Maurice Gemayel and led by Selim Takla.
Since then, AAAA has evolved through pivotal milestones, celebrating the rich legacy of Antoura and playing a meaningful role in shaping Lebanon's cultural, social, and civic landscape.
