With the near total depopulation of the Palestinian Arabs in the major cities of Haifa and Jaffa as a result of the 1948 war, Nazareth, [[Kafr Yasif]] and [[Rameh]] became one of a few towns in the newly-established state of Israel to emerge as a central space for [[Arab culture]] and politics.<ref name="Shihade456">Shihade 2014, p. 456.</ref>

Three prestigious Arab [[Christian schools]] in Nazareth are the St. Joseph's Eclerical School, run by the [[Melkite Greek Catholic Church]], the Nuns of St. Joseph School, a Catholic institution, and the Nazareth Baptist High School, a [[Protestant]] institution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comeandsee.com/view.php?sid=943|title=Maariv: Christian Schools in Nazareth among best in country|date=17 September 2015|publisher=Comeandsee}}</ref> About half of students in Nazareth attend [[Christian schools]] (10 schools) that are found in the city.<ref>{{cite book|title=Palestinian Christians in Israel: State Attitudes Towards Non-Muslims in a Jewish State| first=Una |last=McGahern|year= 2011| isbn= 9780415605717| page =51|publisher=Routledge|quote=}}</ref> [[Christian school]]s in Nazareth are among the best schools in the country, and while those schools represent only 4% of the Arab schooling sector, about 34% of Arab university students come from [[Christian school]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://hcef.org/790796657-demonstration-of-christian-schools-in-jerusalem/ |title= Demonstration of Christian Schools in Jerusalem - Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation |website=Hcef.org |access-date=5 September 2016|date= 10 September 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/society/85944-150916-israel-hundreds-protest-against-discriminatory-school-funding-for-christians|title=Israel: Hundreds protest against 'discriminatory' school funding for Christians |date=17 September 2015 |publisher=i24NEWS }}</ref> These Arab Christian schools accommodate Christian students, Muslims, [[Druze]] from across the country.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.lpj.org/posts/israeli-ministry-of-education-classifies-christian-schools-among-the-best-in-the-country.html|title=Israeli Ministry of Education classifies Christian schools among the best in the country|newspaper=Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem|access-date=5 September 2016|archive-date=30 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220430151718/https://www.lpj.org/posts/israeli-ministry-of-education-classifies-christian-schools-among-the-best-in-the-country.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
