Ecole Baptiste Conservatrice de Soisson

Soissons Conservative Baptist School is located on the Montagne Noire Road near the village of Fermathe. It was founded in October 1996 and is currently under the leadership of Pastor Jude Jean. The school has about 100 students and 8 teachers. The school has 12 separated classrooms holding preschool through 6th grade classes, children of age 4 to 14 years old. The children enjoy playing jump rope, soccer, and circle games. The school provides hot meal to the children daily during school. The parents are responsible to provide the books and uniform fabric for the students.  

Most of the community adults are involved in farming and agriculture as well as some small street vending. The average size of the families is 5 children. 58% of the people in this community are considered Christians. The school buildings are in need of repair work. The school also has some projected goals of establishing a trade school, providing a library along with a computer lab.  

The school current challenge resides in the financial needs to hire more qualified teachers.
