College de la Grace is a Christian school in Piyon started by Caleb Lucien in 1993. He wanted to provide educational opportunities for kids in the area so that they did not have to go live on their own in Port au Prince or Cap Haitian in order to get a quality education. The school has grown over the years to now include around 900 students enrolled in their preschool through high school. There is still vision for future growth and improvement.
The school is located near the airport just outside town (about a 50 min. walk or a 10-15 min. Rhino ride from our camp). While we were in Piyon, the school allowed us to use their internet, so one of us usually visited a couple times a week. Pictured here are a few of the cute, little kids singing Happy Birthday to one of the administrators.
