“They Are Our Children”: An Examination of Faith-Based, Tuition-Free, Private Schools as Potential Sites of Educational Opportunity for Refugee Children in Egypt and Lebanon by Sally Wesley Bonet, Samira Nabil Chatila

(2) Methods: Leveraging Shirazi and Jaffe-Walter’s concept of countertopography and Bartlett and Vavrus’s comparative case study, this article draws on ethnographic engagement (2017–2019) at “Cairo Christian Academy”, a Sudanese refugee school in Egypt, and qualitative interviews with teachers, administrators, and staff at “Beirut Covenant School” (2020–2021) in Lebanon to answer the following question: What is possible within private, faith-based, tuition-free schools—particularly schools that teach secular curricula and are open to children from all faith backgrounds, as these mirror some of the more egalitarian aspects of public education—which have absorbed refugee students as a part of their mission to care for others? …”
