The Armenian Evangelical School of Trad (Armenian: Հայ Աւետարանական Վարժարան Թրատ) was built in 1936, in a poor area in East Beirut named Trad District. It had kindergarten, and six primary classes.

The last principal was Mrs. Vera Sevadjian.

The Armenian Evangelical Social Center School of Trad, established in 1936, is located in the Trad district, a poor area in the eastern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. This district was originally a refugee camp for Armenians fleeing the massacres in Turkey in 1915. he school was built to provide education to disadvantaged children, the generation of Armenian refugees who were left without educational opportunities due to their dire circumstances.

Miss Elizabeth Webb, a missionary serving in the Armenian community, recognized the need for educational resources for these children. She gathered them and taught them how to read and write. Miss Webb eventually purchased a piece of land and donated it to the Armenian Evangelical Church, which used it to establish a social center. Over time, this center developed into a school, offering full elementary classes by 1948.

In 1969, the current building of the school was constructed. The building also housed the social center, which provided a space for children to study and receive help after school hours. The social center extended its reach to children and adolescents through various spiritual and social activities.

Due to a decline in student enrollment, the school eventually closed. It has since been transformed into Zvartnots, an Armenian school for children with disabilities.
