Education

• In 2020, a virtual online school, in English, was established by Guedy St. Germain and Leopald Jean-Bart for the students at Cambry. To date, there are 103 students enrolled, and in April, the senior students hope to take their ACT. Very grateful to our ministry partner for sponsoring this program which is now in it's second year.
• Over the past 18 months, ESMI's University of Jeremie has been working with the University of Tennessee Institue of Agriclture (UTIA). Grateful for their partnership as they have helped UJ to evaluate her strengths and weaknesses, and to develop a 10-year strategic plan. Pray that God will provide the staff and resources to accomplish these goals.
