Overview: Kaw Academy, an online professional school teaching entirely in Creole, celebrates its first anniversary on Sept. 2 after serving over 150,000 students in Haiti and the diaspora. Many of the school attendees have already secured freelance contracts, launched small businesses, or obtained international certifications—showing that online education, when taught in Creole, can have immediate, tangible impacts on Haitians. “Discovering www.kawacademy.com gave me access to the largest Haitian platform offering free education in Creole,” posted student Jocelin Mécène on the school’s LinkedIn. While abroad, he continued teaching his Haitian students via Zoom—a turning point that convinced him an online platform in Creole could democratize access to education.
