THE SCHOOL
A community school built on critical thinking.
Lekòl Antoine Thurel is tuition free and teaches in Kreyòl. Students learn science, mathematics, social studies, Kreyòl, and art through projects and experiments, guided by teachers who plan and teach together.

How learning works at Lekòl Antoine Thurel.
01 Learn in Kreyòl
Start with the language students know so ideas and understanding stay at the center.
02 Connect the subjects
We teach subjects as connected systems, the way the parts of a body work together. Mel King helped shape this idea.
03 Learn to teach, teach to learn
Teachers act as expert guides. They plan lessons together, co-teach, and give each other feedback.
Project based learning, April to July 2024
Students grew eggplant, kalalou, spinach, and garlic, raised a flock of chickens, and reviewed their own progress every Friday.
FROM THE SCHOOLYARD
Learning is happening. Come see.
Swipe through a year at Lekòl Antoine Thurel: classrooms, the schoolyard, the first day of school, and the projects students run themselves.
Civil unrest cost students many school days during the 2023 to 2024 school year, so they voted to keep the school year going through the summer.
