Residents of Zondo, a community near the Liberia Agriculture Company (LAC), Grand Bassa County, are set to benefit from the establishment of the Soltiamon Christian School System (SCSC) in that part of the country.
Soltiamon Christian School System is an academic institution that provides quality education to the public. The Institution operates the combined curriculum of the Ministry of Education and the Bible.
Commenting on the on-going Zondo school project, the Superintendents of the SCSS, Pastor St. Solomon Joah and Tiangay Joah, noted that their project is meant to give back to Zondo, where pastor Joah was born and received primary education during his early childhood.
Pastor Joah said his vision is to restore the quality education schools once provided during his upbringing in the Zondo area. There has been no school in that area since the civil war in Liberia. The place is very isolated, to the extent that there is no GSM network in the area.
According to pastor Joah, they have already started the zincing of the roof, and anticipate about six hundred students to be enrolled in the elementary division this academic semester.
Phase-one of the ongoing project, he said, is the elementary division, followed by the construction of the high school and the college.
When questioned about his objective, he responded as saying that his aim is not for profit-making, but to give back to Zondo.
He said the school’s uniform will be provided free to the students, as well as textbooks.
The pastor further noted that the tuition will be affordable to the public there, because it will be based on their economic status: L$4,000 per student. He said the fee is extra from other SCSC fees in the country, as students attending the SCSS in other places pay over US$500.
He stated that Soltiamon Christian School System’s method of teaching arithmetic makes children to master it at an early age. Finally, he disclosed that all is set to kick off academic activities in Zondo this semester.
