Ecole Communautaire
Originally operating out of the community church, the school moved to where it currently resides in a school building built by our partners at Digicel. Students come from surrounding villages, many descending the mountain of Bien-Aime to attend school. The school produces some of Summits’ top performing students like Jessika, who wants to one day become a diplomat for Haiti, and another by the name of Lounies who had left for the Dominican Republic but was convinced to come back to the school by the principal. He is now a top performing student across the entire network.
