La Référence School responds to the pressing challenge of providing consistent education to the growing population of children in Haiti. Located in Ganthier, a one-hour drive from Port-au-Prince towards the border with the Dominican Republic, “La Référence” was founded in 2012 by a group of young Haitian professors whose aspirations of becoming the model and archetype for other schools in Haiti inspired the name and is exemplified by their students’ academic results.
