CHOIX STUDENTS, THEN AND NOW!
While some things at Choix remain the same – and we love that! –
we also can rely on one thing always to change: Our students grow up and develop.
We and they appreciate seeing these photos comparing them through the years,
and they had a fun time re-creating them, too..
It’s Our Anniversary!
The School of Choice / l’Ecole de Choix has an important anniversary: We are honored to celebrate 10 years of operations in Haiti, and are looking forward to our next decade.
We have weathered some storms during our first decade – both literal and figurative – and currently Haiti faces challenges that are more profound than at any time in Choix’s 10-year history. Yet, Choix and our community stand strong. Indeed, in times of crisis, our students, families, faculty and community members turn to us as a source of safety, knowledge and strength.

Choix has been able to stand with Haiti only
because partners like you have stood with us for the past 10 years.
The past ten years have demonstrated that there is no quick fix to the country’s systemic challenges and that a stronger country requires more than simply stronger buildings. What is needed: A vision for the future, and leaders equipped with the knowledge, skills and values to make that vision a reality. Quality education offers that sustainable foundation to move forward and our Choix students are hungry to arrive at school every day to access it!
We acknowledge Haiti’s present, but we are building for Haiti’s future.
We hope that you will consider an exceptional contribution to Choix in honor of our 10th anniversary year so that, together, we can continue to provide young Haitians with an opportunity to choose a brighter path for themselves, their community and their country.

There are many ways in which you can partner with Choix and make a difference in the lives of Haitian students. We invite you to learn more about them by exploring our Choix Guide to Giving.
One opportunity many contributors have found especially meaningful is to sponsor a Choix student or to support a Choix graduate with a scholarship. Not only does this partnership offer sustained support to Choix’s budget, but sponsors are able to communicate with Choix students and grads through our online portal, if they wish (all messaging is monitored by Choix’s Campus Director).
In one message from a student to his sponsor, 11th grader Reginald wrote:
I am really happy to have you as my sponsor. Despite the situation in my country, I will
continue to work hard because I have a dream, and this gives me more
encouragement to prove to you that your efforts are not in vain.
It is for this reason that The School of Choice can be proud of us and motivate the
Choix community to help other children achieve their goals.
– Reginald
If you already are a sponsor or scholarship provider, thank you!! Your partnership allows us to be here for our students – today and tomorrow.
