Why Partnerships?Because students grow when they look beyond themselves.
Because students grow when they look beyond themselves.
Cross-cultural learning helps students develop empathy, understanding, and compassion for people around the world. Through this intentional partnership, students in North America are given the opportunity to look beyond their own communities and build meaningful connections with students in Haiti.
How it Works
Our team walks closely with partner schools to provide a top-notch, deeply relational program. Through cultural exchanges, shared educational curriculum, and student-led videos, students gain a unique perspective on life in Haiti and the impact of inclusive education. These relational elements are paired with student-led fundraisers to support the ICEP school and their new friends.
Video Exchanges
Watch videos that help connect students across boarders. Video exchanges are an opportunity for students to teach one another about their culture and share what school looks like for them.
Haitian Culture Curriculum
Gain access to curriculum that equips your teachers with educational materials centered on Haitian life and culture; connecting students with their peers in Haiti.
Exclusive Opportunities
Participate in exclusive exchanges like pen pals, mystery item activities, live classroom to classroom calls, or work along-side our team to create an exchange unique to your school.
Global Network of Schools
Join global calls with a network of schools across the USA and Canada who are like-minded and passionate about their Kingdom impact.
About Your Partner School
Institution Chrétienne Enfants de la Promesse (ICEP) provides Christian education to more than 300 students from Pre-K through 9th grade. The school is located on Children of the Promise’s campus and serves the most vulnerable children in the surrounding communities. ICEP’s mission is to provide Christ-centered quality education, equipping students for a life of praise and service in their communities and beyond for the glory of Jesus Christ. In a place where children with disabilities are often turned away from schools, our school stands to serve children of all abilities to help them reach their God-given potential.
Our Partner Schools
You heard it here first.
“Jesus calls us to love our neighbor and build one another up, both near and far, and this partnership gives our students a chance to live that calling in a tangible way. Though we live in very different places, our schools share a common goal: to help students grow in faith, character, and wisdom. As we build relationships with our friends at Lagossette, we’re reminded that when we love and serve others, God will use these moments to bless both schools and reveal his heart in beautiful ways.“

“Sixth graders at Bloomer Middle School were thrilled to build a meaningful connection with the students at Institution Chrétienne Enfants de la Promesse. Learning about Haiti’s rich history and vibrant customs opened up a whole new world for them. The real highlight of the partnership was exchanging our mystery items. Our students had a blast imagining the reactions at ICEP when they opened up winter snow pants, an ice scraper, and a genuine Wisconsin cheesehead! The anticipation was just as real on our end. Students were buzzing with curiosity as they passed around a traditional Haitian pilon, a pez bannann, and Haitian gourdes, making wild and creative guesses about what each object was used for. This school partnership has sparked excitement, curiosity, and a valuable global friendship!

“Through this partnership, our students were able to interact with kids from a different culture, but also see the many similarities they share as students no matter where they live. Our students were able to fundraise on behalf of ICEP. They took initiative to fundraise in many different ways for school supplies for ICEP, everything from giving their own allowance to collecting golf balls on the golf course to selling homemade goodies. It was inspiring seeing the students put hands and feet to their faith and serve other students they had never met in person.”
