Educational Programs

Renaissance Elementary School: Au Centre had no public elementary school, nor any municipal land to build one on. In 2004 we began giving scholarships to a handful kids who were otherwise unable to start school. Since then the program has grown.

In 2005 we founded the Renaissance Elementary School, providing pre-school to grade 4 education. We are now offering free education and a hot meal to 125 children. We employ 5 teachers and a school director. Click to learn more about how our school is run.

Our 4-room schoolhouse is overflowing. We had to refuse 25 kids last semester. We need to add 5th and 6th Grade classes. We are now building our own school building.

School Lunch Program: Because our students were coming to school hungry, we instituted a school lunch program. Our lunch is often the only hot meal our kids get in a day. In one semester, we served over 12,500 lunches to 125 children.

Sponsor A Child Program: We fund the Renaissance Elementary School through individual donors sponsoring individual children
$1 a day provides education and a hot lunch to a child for one year. Donors pledge $365 annually. There are always so many great kids to help! Click to learn how to Sponsor A Child.

Teacher Training: We plan to give our teachers an intensive summer course in primary education, teaching and curriculum.

Adult Education: We’ve begun women’s education and vocation classes (women’s health, sewing, nutrition, literacy).

A donation of $10,000 towards our Educational Programs will cover school lunch program, teachers salaries, women's education classes.
