Vision

As graduates and former students of the Episcopal Schools in Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia, who now reside in the United States, we share a common vision for those institutions, as Liberia emerges from approximately twenty years of civil unrest and instability.

With St. John's, the House of Bethany, and the Episcopal High School in Robertsport serving as the culminating points that combine to create a prominent source of highly educated, disciplined, patriotic, and Christian young men and women who will be ready for higher education in Liberia or abroad, we will pool our resources to restore those institutions to the position of prominence that they enjoyed prior to the extended period of civil unrest in the country. 

As products of those institutions, we realize our indebtedness not only to them, but also to Liberia.  We acknowledge that while these institutions were largely created by missionaries from America, and that while we are currently reaping the benefits of a good Christian education, it is incumbent upon us as Liberians, to now give back to the very institutions that are largely responsible for preparing us for survival in the world today.  Within the next five years, we will continue to give of our time, our money, and our services, to rebuild our institutions and ensure that every child residing in the location of those institutions, is given the opportunity to education that is as good or better than what we had.

We will utilize the abundant technology that exists today to improve not only the infrastructure of the institutions, but also the facilities, and curriculum at each institution.

We envision that within the next five years, all institutions will be operational, that the Episcopal Elementary and High Schools in Robertsport will be reopened and fully staffed, and that the House of Bethany and St. Johns’ will reopen for boarding students.

Our ability to reach the hundreds of former graduates and beneficiaries of these institutions will improve to the extent that we will also develop our own program of missionaries, comprising of former students who will volunteer to return on a rotational basis, and contribute in the same fashion that others did when we received our education.
