Collège Soeurs de La Charité de Saint-Louis de Bourdon or simply Collège Saint-Louis de Bourdon is a private, Roman Catholic institution located in the borough of Bourdon, situated between the center of Port-au-Prince and Petionville, Haiti. The school follows the Haitian education system, with a primary school offering grades 13 (or k)-6, and a secondary schools from grade 7-to philo.

History

The school was founded by the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis, a congregation created in France by Marie Louise Elizabeth de Lamoignon on May 25, 1803. Gradually, the congregation had branched internationally to better accomplish their goal of offering a learning experience to young girls. This long journey eventually led to Haiti.

Curriculum

Both schools provides a curriculum rooted in Roman Catholicism and a strong sense of civic duty with daily prayer and other religious activities formally integrated as part of the learning process. At a very early age, students tend to be given individual projects requiring presentation in front of an audience to boost their confidence. In addition to following the criteria of the Haitian Department of Education, both schools offer a range of electives such as sewing, cooking, baking, arts and crafts, creative writing, engineering as well as computer sciences.hhh

Extracurricular activities

The secondary school occasionally participates in Basketball and Volleyball championships organized by the Department of Education in Haiti.
