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 in Pétion-Ville, 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.
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.
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 bot 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.
The secondary school occasionally participates in basketball, debates and volleyball championships organized by the Department of Education in Haiti.
