Fugees Family, Inc. is a non-profit organization and operator of a network of community-based middle and high schools that emphasize academic and character development of refugee children.

Our schools serve a pressing need that is not currently being met by traditional public education systems – the education of refugee children in an environment where their unique academic challenges are understood.
