Ecole Communautaire Saint-Innocents
Bel-Air is one of the original 13 schools first incorporated into the the Summits network. The school’s long history begins with Father Lafontant and Zanmi Lasante. As a health agent, Father Lafontant built the school with the community’s help. The school is a 2 hour drive from Cange, where Summits’ sister organization, Partners in Health was founded. Currently, classes are divided among three main school rooms.
