Collège Catts Pressoir
Founded in October 1955 by Jeanine Vaval Laroche and Mr. Ernest Vaval, Collège Catts Pressoir had a staff of 14 students in a small room designed for a dwelling house at No. 66, Lane Nazon, now Martin Luther King Ave Port-au-Prince.
Forced to leave the country for reasons beyond her control, Ms. Catts Pressoir gave some students with learning difficulties to Jeanine Vaval for private lessons. Faced with the great satisfaction of parents, demand has continued to grow. Then, assisted by her husband Ernest Vaval, who chose to quit his studies at the Faculty of Medicine for the benefit of education, and, confident of their ability to mentor struggling students, driven by the strong determination to make each competent citizens, Jeanine Vaval Laroche decided to found the College Catts Pressoir in October 1955.

One of Haiti's more prestigious high schools, Saint-Louis de Gonzague
Saint-Louis de Gonzague is a Roman Catholic school (primary and secondary) in Haiti. It is directed by the Brothers of Christian Instruction - Freres de l'Instruction Chretienne (F.I.C). It was founded in 1890 and initially located at Center Street, Port-au-Prince. The colors of the school are red and green.
The school was founded for students between the ages of six and 12. By 1930, Saint-Louis de Gonzague offered Bachelor degrees for secondary school. In the early 1970s, Saint-Louis de Gonzague engaged in a major expansion. The director at that time, Brother Ephrem Le-Mat, built a new campus on previously acquired land in the suburb of Delmas. Since then, the secondary school has moved to that new campus.
The primary school has an enrollment of about 400 students. All six grades have each three sections. After the earthquake of January 12, 2010, both the primary school and the secondary school are on the Delmas campus. The secondary school is composed of seven grades with about 1000 students. Students are arranged in different sections per grade, named blue, yellow, purple, red, and green.

The only problem most of these students cannot make the transition when they come to the United States, they are trying to be respected for the schools they had attended not for who or what they really are.
