A key part of our “school-based community change model” at The Children’s Academy is Community Change Groups. These groups are made up of parents of students at the school as well as other adult community members. Just as The Children’s Academy’s general education prepares students to become leaders for change in their communities, Community Change […]
At the start of the 2024 – 2025 academic year, Pedagogy Director Jouvresse, along with teachers Rachelle and Valès, asked a simple yet powerful question to their students: What do you want to achieve this year? One by one, the students spoke. Their answers echoed the same dream: “We want to work together in […]
At The Children’s Academy, murals aren’t just paintings—they are mirrors of hope, windows into the future, and acts of peace in motion. Each brushstroke along our vibrant school walls tells the story of students learning not only to read and write but also to lead, love, and lift each other up. From science labs […]
Newly tucked beneath the tropical canopy of The Children’s Academy Legacy Garden sits a beautiful white bench bearing the names “Bob & Nedra Green.” It’s more than a seat—it’s a symbol of enduring generosity, a quiet tribute to a legacy gift that will support students, families, and the broader community here in Haiti. At […]
Today is World Environment Day and we’re excited to share that in addition to the recent addition of Soap Making, The Children’s Academy is launching a Tree Nursery as part of our entrepreneurship program. With local nurseries no longer accessible due to gang activity, this project will make essential trees like almonds, breadfruit, moringa, and […]
May 18 was Flag Day in Haiti. It’s a national holiday and, despite the current troubles, many schools took the opportunity to put on public celebrations. These images are from IMN Community School where they created and donned flag colored outfits and then marched out in the streets while singing, dancing, and performing music to […]
While grassroots democracy isn’t the most exciting of things, if you want people to really invest in something, we believe it’s the best way to go. With this in mind, since even before The Children’s Academy was opened, we established bi-weekly open community meetings. These meetings are open to anyone that wishes to participate and […]
As a part of our entrepreneurship activities at The Children’s Academy, we recently started teaching the 9th and 10th graders how to make liquid dish/laundry detergent. This type of soap is typically imported from the Dominican Republic and is costly. The idea is for students to learn how to make it at the school, and […]
At The Children’s Academy we recently held a “Career Day,” though it wasn’t what you might expect. It was for our kindergarteners and their parents. See, in Haiti there’s a long-held expectation that if you’re in school, your goal has to be to become a doctor, engineer, lawyer, or, perhaps, a teacher. These are the […]
The gardens at The Children’s Academy continue to do really well. Here we see students harvesting the produce they, with help from school staff and parent volunteers, have grown. What’s even cooler is that all the produce in the school gardens is grown using sustainable gardening techniques like permaculture! While learning sustainable gardening is […]
