Global Sae-A Group announced that its S&H School in Haiti has been officially recognized as a premier educational institution in the region.
The school was honored as the Best Educational Institution in the education category at the “Red Carpet Awards” hosted by the Françilot Hotel at the end of last year. The Françilot Hotel, located in Haiti’s northeastern region, has quickly become a central part of the local community. The Red Carpet Awards are held annually to recognize organizations and individuals who have made significant contributions to the local community.
A representative of the Red Carpet Awards explained that S&H School was selected as the top institution because it was the only school in the region to achieve a 100% pass rate for its 73 students in last year’s national exams, which determine advancement to higher education. The school’s students also secured top ranks, including first, third, and fourth place in the region.
“S&H School stands out as the leading educational institution in the region. Beyond its academic success, the school provides a clean and high-quality learning environment, offers free tuition and lunch to students, and even makes its auditorium available to the community free of charge on holidays. It has become one of the most sought-after schools in Haiti, serving as a symbol of excellence and a model for the community,” the representative added.
Comprehensive Education and Global Opportunities
Established in 2013 as part of Haiti’s reconstruction efforts, S&H School was founded by Global Sae-A with support from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). Initially starting as a kindergarten and elementary school, the institution expanded to include middle and high school divisions by 2017, evolving into a comprehensive educational institution.

Students at S&H School benefit from a robust curriculum taught by highly qualified teachers. The school offers instruction in Creole, English, French, and Spanish, providing students with a well-rounded education that balances traditional academic subjects with practical and creative pursuits.
In 2023, the school celebrated its first graduating class, with six graduates joining Sae-A Trading, a global leader in textile and apparel manufacturing. Four members of the second graduating class are currently participating in internships with the company.
