We have a new roof in 2024!          

THE JOHNSON CITY ​NEWS & NEIGHBOR​

January 10, 2018

See the November 13, 2024, article about our school in the New Republic - LIBERIA:

Supporters of Bear Another’s Burdens Ministry of Christ (BABMOC) welcomed BABMOC Director Isaac Mayon at Covenant Presbyterian Church, Johnson City, Tennessee Sunday, July 14th, 2024

Isaac outlined the ways that our school in Liberia is unique.  For example, the teachers and students share a non-threatening environment of mutual respect.  Corporal punishment is not allowed. 

On the day that our 3rd graders and 6th graders take the national exam, we provide free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, transportation, and test fees. 

We call parents if a student misses more than one day of school to ascertain why they are absent. 

If a student arrives upset or with visible wounds, we call the parents and share our philosophy and encourage a similar approach to discipline in the home, emphasizing that the child will be more able to concentrate and learn if they aren’t upset.

At the end of each marking period, when tests are given, no child is told they can’t take the test because they haven’t paid their fees – our school has no fees! 

We are a model school in Liberia and we try to make learning fun!
