It’s not every day in Haiti that you can walk into a 4th
grade classroom and be overcome with young Haitian students asking a variety of
questions in English! But that’s exactly
what is happening at the L’Ecole de Choix.
With Dr. Mary Clisbee as its principal, this school is doing amazing
things in the town of Mirebalais, also notably, the location of the new
Partners in Health teaching hospital.
L’Ecole de Choix’s purpose is to provide a holistic and quality
education to help this generation of Haitian children become the leaders of
tomorrow. In just 2 years, they are
doing a very impressive job.
Dr. Clisbee initially invited me to visit the school to
discuss their new track and field team and interest in participating in the
inter-school competitions being held by ADAH.
Dr. Clisbee is a former track coach and is willing to donate her talent
to helping ADAH train our athletes in preparation for participation in the
international CARIFTA held in March. As
a fellow educator, however, it was great to see the amazing programs being
implemented, quality teachers at work, and smiling faces of students eagerly
learning! For more information about
