The Haitian Project is thrilled to announce that Louverture Cleary School has again continued the tradition of excellence with another perfect 100 percent pass rate for the Katryèm (U.S. 9th grade) and Philo (U.S. 12th grade + 1) state exams—a particularly great achievement during this period of ongoing difficulty in Haiti. These exams are necessary for Katryèm students to move on to Twazyèm (U.S. 10th grade) and the start of the Secondaire (high school level) curriculum, and for Philo to be eligible for university acceptance.
Stephanie B., executive director of Fondation Haitian Project, The Haitian Project's partner foundation in Haiti, reflects:
This year, once again, LCS had a perfect pass rate for Katryèm students and Philo graduates on their state exams. This is absolutely remarkable, and we could not be more proud of the students and staff for successfully ending the year and for being able to rise above all the difficulties that stood in the way. The students and staff have faced a rotation this year due to COVID-19, they faced political turmoil, and rampant insecurity. These have had the most negative impact overall in Haiti but even more so on education. I am amazed to continue to see the impact of the LCS model, which provides a safe learning environment that allows students to stay focused on their studies. This is one of the biggest strengths of our school, and it makes all the difference. Year after year, LCS students remain a force, and we look forward to seeing the impact the graduates will have in the country and their communities.
