Carolyn A. Miller Elementary School
The Carolyn A. Miller Elementary School serves the poorest children in the Liberian refugee community in Ghana. The mission of the school is to offer an education to every child who cannot afford one. The vision of the Carolyn A. Miller Elementary School is to transform each disadvantaged child of today into a leader of tomorrow.
The school not only provides students with a solid academic foundation in a wide range of essential subjects, but also helps them become responsible and productive members of the Liberian community. This is done by teaching critical skills in conflict resolution, problem solving and peacebuilding.
The faculty encourage and welcome international organizations, volunteers and donors to assist in this critical work - together they can shape the lives and futures of Liberian children, and, through them, the future of Liberia.
