The Bohoc Training Institute (BTI) or l’Institut Pratique de Bohoc, a Junior and Senior High School, is the focal point of HAFF's academic educational program, with more than 280 students enrolled in grades 7 through 13. The staff of Haitian teachers is led by Phanes Charles, HAFF's Haitian headmaster. HAFF places special emphasis on teaching critical thinking and problem solving skills in contrast to relying on rote memory techniques

which are common in Haiti. The school is well-known for its English program and the number of native English speakers who assist in teaching.

The Bohoc Training Institute has been educating junior high and high school students in the Bohoc community and surrounding area for almost 30 years. In this time the school has seen generations of kids and their parents complete their high school educations. "It's exciting to see," says HAFF Staff Missionary Connie Curilla. "I have, and continue to see, the children of my previous students in my classes. It's encouraging to know that quality education is being passed from one generation to another, making a long-term impact in the overall community."

The school campus consists of seven school buildings, a school kitchen providing a meal for each student four days per week, a library/resource room and a gazebo which is often used as an outdoor classroom.
