Rafic Hariri High School is a non-profit secular educational institution and a UNESCO associated school founded in 1982 by Hariri Foundation for Sustainable Human Development. The school was named after the late founder, H.E. Rafic Hariri. The school was earlier established as New Saida School “Saida Al Jadeeda” as part of the Kfarfalous Cultural and Medical Compound project. School operations were transferred twice, finally relocating to the current, state-of-the-art campus in the city of Saida in 1988.

RHHS comprises four divisions that cover all student ages, including preschool, elementary, intermediate, and secondary; the school offers the Lebanese baccalaureate system in both English and French, the American program, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.

The institution was established as a safe academic space for learners to grow up into empathetic and global citizens who use their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities to actively engage in inquiring about significant and relevant issues. Since its establishment, the school has been providing quality education to its students, with a mission to empower learners with the knowledge, skills, and character to take action in improving the local and global communities.
