For over 27 years, Christel House has been dedicated to empowering children from under-resourced communities to realize their potential and transform their futures. We’ve done this by providing the comprehensive support system they need to thrive, both in school and beyond.
Our holistic model supports each of our students for 18+ years. This in-depth, whole-child approach integrates rigorous academic learning with nutrition and healthcare, life skills, social support, and college and career guidance. It鈥檚 a deep commitment that helps students demonstrate that they have limitless potential.
Our schools are at the heart of what we do, serving as the critical bridge between poverty and successful life outcomes for children in some of the most under-resourced communities around the world. We are now committed to reaching even more children with a goal of launching five new schools in the next five years.
