The New Victorian School
The New Victorian School (TNVS) is a private school for grade-school children located in the Turgeau neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.[1][2]
The school was founded in 1991 by Romel Joseph with his stated goal to provide a higher-quality education to Haitian families.[2][3] It teaches an American curriculum as well as a blend of Haitian and French coursework with a focus on classical music and general education.[2]
In January 2000, a fire broke out inside the school and burned the building down.[4] Only one day before the tenth anniversary of the fire, the school received international coverage when it was destroyed again during the January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake.[4] Joseph was on the third-floor balcony of the building when the earthquake struck, and he remained trapped in the rubble for 18 hours before being rescued.[3] He was treated in Miami, Florida, and later returned to Haiti to rebuild the school.[1] Joseph died in October 2015. His daughter, Victoria Joseph, is co-director of the school.[5]
