École La Dignité is the only free private school in the Jacmel area and supports 8 localities from as far as 3 km, including Corrail Soult, Nan Model and La Pierre. The school currently has 227 students from grades 1-6 and intends to expand its program to include grades 7 and 8, requiring the construction of two new classrooms at the front of the property.
