From Talk:Côte d'Ivoire#Non-notable_addition

Located in Bouake, a town located near the center of the country, there is a compound that once housed what was known locally as l'Ecole Baptiste, or to the missionary kids that lived there, International Christian Academy, formerly known as Ivory Coast Academy (ICA for short). During the September 19, 2002 evacuation, the staff and students, of whom most were missionary kids from various denominations and various country, though, primarily Canadian and American, were assisted in evacuation to Yamoussoukro, then on to Abidjan to return to their parents.

The students who boarded there lived there for three months at a time with vacations home to their parents periodically throughout the school year and summer. This was their home and school at the same time. The exacuation caused them to be uprooted and though returned home to their families scattered friends far and wide. Living in boarding schools develops tight knit friendships and second families where home really is where the heart is. These children were greatly affected by the coup.

Some of the students resumed boarding school at Dakar Academy in Dakar, Senegal. Some are homeschooled in their parents home of mission. Some families returned to their native countries. Information about the international students who did not board or were not missionary kids is currently unknown.

Yes, there is an article on "ICA" International Christian Academy, Côte d'Ivoire, and, being an alumnus and former staff member, I'll vouch for the accuracy of what you noted there. I will work on including that in the article, as it is nicely written. Alan J Shea 06:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
