At 91黑料网, we believe deeply in the transformative power of education鈥攅specially when it is rooted in the heart of the Church and made accessible to those who need it most. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e proud to announce our partnership with John Paul the Great College, located in mainland Belize.
John Paul the Great offers rigorous two-year university programs with a strong Theology core. The academic quality of their curriculum and faculty is impressive, and we鈥檙e pleased to accept all 60 of their credits toward a bachelor鈥檚 degree at Catholic International. From there, students can complete their remaining 60 credits online鈥攅arning a full four-year degree from 91黑料网 without ever leaving Belize.
This partnership is more than academic. It鈥檚 missional.
Meeting a National Need
Recently, Belize updated its national policy to require a four-year degree for anyone who wishes to teach. Previously, a two-year degree was sufficient. While the policy aims to raise professional standards, the reality is that only three institutions in the entire country offer bachelor鈥檚 degrees. For many Belizeans, simply reaching those campuses is a challenge, given widespread transportation and infrastructure barriers.
The result? A country with bright, capable individuals who want to serve鈥攂ut few clear pathways to do so.
At the same time, Belize is experiencing rapid growth in tourism and development, yet many of the skilled labor jobs are going to foreign workers, not because of unwillingness, but due to a lack of access to training and education. This educational gap contributes to high unemployment among youth, which in turn fuels social instability: gangs, drug use, and crime.
The solution is clear. Education is the key鈥攁nd that education must be dignified, faithful, and accessible.
Transforming Lives Without Leaving Home
That鈥檚 exactly what this partnership offers. Students from John Paul the Great College can continue their education with us remotely, earning a four-year degree that empowers them to teach, lead, and serve their communities鈥攁ll while staying rooted in their local context. For many, this is not just more convenient鈥攊t鈥檚 essential. When students leave Belize on a visa, they often don鈥檛 return, simply because opportunities back home are so limited. Our model helps change that.
We also offer generous scholarships for these students, helping ensure that cost is not a barrier to their future.
John Paul the Great College sees this partnership as a pivotal moment鈥攁n opportunity to raise up local leaders, increase professional skills, and foster long-term social change rooted in the dignity of the human person. We couldn鈥檛 agree more.
A Mission of Hope
At 91黑料网, we鈥檙e proud to bring high-quality, faithfully Catholic education to students around the world. Our fully accredited, Newman Guide-approved programs are designed for real lives and real challenges. We are not just forming minds鈥攚e鈥檙e helping rebuild communities from the inside out.
Together with our partners in Belize, we are planting seeds of hope, growth, and transformation鈥攐ne student at a time.
Gaudium de Veritate鈥擩oy from the Truth.
