Ecole Dove deSaint Jean Chrysostome
Today, that spark has grown into a movement. With investments across several African countries, Ecole Dove stands as a catalyst for progress — nurturing young minds and building the leaders of tomorrow.
We call ourselves Saint John Chrysostome because of our biological father who was given that name by his baptismal father who named him because he had the wisdom and qualities of Saint John Chrysostome — which means "golden mouth" (bouche d'or) — a person who speaks well, skilled in speaking and teaching the word of God, helping the humble and speaking for them. Being also the one who taught, he explained God in the "Holy Trinity" in many books he wrote. We "Ecole Dove de Saint Jean Chrysostome" follow this line by providing specific courses and adding those qualities, good behaviour, and abilities that we derive from that Saint.
