The students and teachers would love for you to read what they have been up to.
The Marist Alternative Education Centre emerged out of the deepening concern felt by the Marist Brothers for students who had been suspended from schools and colleges, which placed them in an “at risk” situation as far as their educational and overall growth as persons were concerned.
We rely heavily on the funding we obtain from our generous donors as we are only partly funded by the Ministry of Education. This funding goes towards providing transportation, stationery, staff salaries, property and administration costs, etc. Any financial assistance you give is very much appreciated by staff, students and our Board.
