In nearly all Haitian schools, corporal punishment is the natural form of discipline. We have worked extremely hard to make sure that this is not true for our school. Our Director of Discipline takes this role of overseeing discipline throughout the school extremely seriously (as does all of our administrators). We are constantly striving to improve the way in which our teachers interact with our students to make sure that they are always able to handle situations that may arise in their classrooms
Additionally, Respire Haiti respects the importance of the native tongue. Unlike most other Haitian schools, we begin teaching Kindergarten in Haitian Creole and introduce French in 2 nd grade(most other schools begin teaching immediately in French). According to top linguists, teaching a child in their native tongue encourages early reading and better comprehension skills. As a result, our students begin reading in Kindergarten.
Respire Haiti Christian School continuously ranks high throughout our area in Haiti. We strive to make sure that we are meeting each child’s needs.
