Did Musa Daghian refugees have schools in Port Said

At the Port Said refugee camp, the Musa Dagh children attended the "Sisvan" school, established and run by the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU). After the repatriation of the refugees to Musa Dagh in 1919, the AGBU established a network of "Sisvan" schools in the 6 Musa Dagh villages, from 1921-1925.
