Christel House International

Academic programs: the cornerstone of Christel House is its commitment to providing high quality k-12 academic programming and supporting its graduates as they pursue opportunities for higher education and/or vocational training. In 2022, Christel House served 6,652 students and alumni. It offers extended academic time-on-task for students. 94% of 2021 students returned to school in 2022 (excluding graduates). In 2022, 99% of students passed graduation exams and 95% of graduates were continuing studies or gainfully employed.

Community outreach: Christel House learning centers are nonresidential and its children return home each evening. Students learn that they have an obligation to give back and make the world a better place. Christel House believes that by remaining connected to their roots, students will be in a better position to make a positive impact on their communities. Christel House partners with families to co-create student success and provides them with the support to achieve personal and economic goals. Parent engagement programming builds community, parent ownership, platforms to capture parents' input, and fosters parent-to-parent relationships.

Health and nutrition: a child's physical, mental, and emotional health determines academic success and impacts overall quality of life. Two healthy meals and a snack are served during regular school days. Medical, dental, and vision check-ups, as well as other medical services were delivered, and immunizations according to world health organization standards were administered when needed. Children suffering from trauma and loss were counselled by mental health practitioners, and other health issues were addressed as needed throughout the year.
