The computer school serves children ages 10 and above who attend the Haiti Computer School after their normal school day to study computer science. Additionally, the Yours Humanly Haiti Computer School offers evening instruction for older youth and adults in the community who take classes to build their skill sets for employment opportunities elsewhere.
