College Evangelique Baptiste Emmanuel was the first school to provide high school education to the community. For many years, Bombardopolis only had access to primary education and once that finished there was no further continuing education past grade 6th (primary). Thankfully, Papa Francois followed the calling the Lord placed in his heart to open up the High school. With the recruitment of educators from other cities like Port au Prince, the high school level of College Evangelique Baptiste Emmanuel opened its doors and has been preparing teens for college for decades. In fact, many of the teachers that are currently at the school graduated from Emmanuel and went on to study education. They have since come back to pass their knowledge and passion for education on to the next generations.

Due to the level of poverty and remote location of Bombardopolis, there are not many educational or job opportunities post high school for graduates. Some teens will go to Port Au Prince to study at a University, many will go to a trade school (nails, hair, hospitality), and the bulk of the graduates will stay locally learning to make charcoal for a living. We believe in the power of education in order to open the doors to a brighter future for our students.

Secondary School Tuition and Fees (2024-2025)
The cost of 2024-2025 tuition for our secondary students is $125-$178 per student, per academic year. This does not include the uniform, socks, shoes, textbooks, backpack and supplies which is an expensed covered by the parent. Our goal this year is to bridge the gap between affording tuition and the fees that go along with attending school. We have created a scholarship program, to help assist those families during these tough times and to allow more children the opportunity to have an education, whether it be for just one semester or the whole school year.
Support our Secondary (High School)
Gift Education to a TeenGive the gift of education to a teen in need through a one time or monthly sponsorship. Your sponsorship will help alleviate some of that stress many parents face when they must make the decision between sending their child to school or feeding their family. Our secondary school tuition is $125-$178 per student, per academic year. The needs are endless, but changing the cycle of poverty in Haiti begins with Education! Our families do not pay the full year's tuition upfront; it is divided into trimesters. We welcome any donation, even if it only covers one semester, to help a child receive an education. Every little bit helps!

Give Teachers a BonusConsider supporting our secondary school teachers with a bonus. They are some of the hardest working teachers in the region and have a very important job of setting these young adults up for success post graduation. They work longer hours than our primary and kindergarten teachers, as classes for our secondary students go later. Unfortunately, their monthly salary currently does not reflect the extra hours and stressful demands of teaching high school students. Any contributions you would like to offer to support these teachers would be greatly appreciated. .

Support Trade SchoolWe have witnessed first-hand the positive impact that skill training has had on our children at our orphanage. We feel compelled to be able to do the same for our students and children in the community. We are blessed by already having a building structure that can be used for a trade school and it is our hope to one day be able to restore and equip it to provide an official trade school to the community. We would like to start offering Saturday School to educate the youth on a variety of different trades, mechanics, welding, solar, technology, etc.
