IN THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR WE PLAN TO ADD 7TH GRADE!STUDENTS AT APPARENT PROJECT ARE TAUGHT FRENCH, HAITIAN KREYOL AND ENGLISH. THE STUDENTS ARE LEARNING WELL AND ENJOYING THEIR TIME AT SCHOOL. ALMOST ALL APPARENT PROJECT STUDENTS REGULARLY PASS THE REQUIRED TESTS TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL. IF NOT, THEY RECEIVE TUTORING IN THE PROBLEM SUBJECT SO THEY CAN PASS ALL TESTS. AP HAS ESTABLISHED A GOOD REPUTATION, OFTEN WITH A WAITING LIST TO ENROLL.- APPARENT PROJECT INSTITUTE ADDS ANOTHER ELEMENT TO OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. WE OFFER JOB & EDUCATIONAL SKILLS TRAINING! WE'VE TRAINED OVER 250 ADULTS, TEENAGERS & ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. SKILLS TRAINING FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS BEGINS IN 4TH GRADE. THE FOCUS IS ON TYPING! BUT IT ALSO GIVES STUDENTS EXPERIENCE IN OPERATING A COMPUTER. THE PLAN IS TO ADD MORE ENGLISH & COMPUTER APPLICATION SKILLS TO THEIR CURRICULUM IN THE FUTURE.TEENS AND ADULTS START WITH TYPING, THEN LEARN BASIC ENGLISH & THE COMPUTER APPLICATION SKILLS. THESE STUDENTS FIRST LEARN TO TYPE. THEN THEY STUDY & PRACTICE SPEAKING BASIC ENGLISH. IN ADDITION, THEY ARE TRAINED IN BASIC COMPUTER APPLICATIONS, STUDYING MICROSOFT EXCEL, WORD, POWERPOINT AND MORE! WE OFFER THIS TRAINING TO TEENS IN THE LOCAL AREA, TO OUR AP STAFF & OTHER ADULTS IN THE AREA, OFTEN TO HAITIAN MANAGERS AND OTHER WORKERS.THIS TRAINING IMPROVES OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHER EDUCATION AND BETTER EMPLOYMENT FOR HAITIAN WORKERS. IT HAS INCREASED THE ABILITIES OF AP STAFF IN PROVIDING MANAGEMENT REPORTS AND WILL HELP THEM WITH BETTER EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIME. OIN 2023, TWO AP INSTITUTE TEACHERS COMPLETED THE INITIAL ADVANCED SOFTWARE TRAINING. DUE TO UNREST IN HAITI, IT WASN'T POSSIBLE FOR QUALIFIED STUDENTS TO BE TRAINED BY OUR TEACHERS, SO THESE TEACHERS CONTINUED WITH TRAINING WAS DONE THROUGH A UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN & CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY PROGRAM. A SEASONED SOFTWARE PROGRAMMER SUPERVISES THIS PROGRAM USING ZOOM. THE PLAN IS TO HAVE THESE 2 TEACHERS TRAIN QUALIFIED STUDENTS IN THESE SKILLS.
