A Top Notch Education

One of the most outstanding achievements of our mission in Colombia, established by Fr. Angel Rivero and Fr. Elvis Silva, is its top-notch school, which this past school year furthered its excellence. With the approval of the relevant curriculum by the educational authorities, Colegio Campestre Santo Domingo Savior (St. Dominic Savio Rural School) is now able to expand its services to Media Vocacional (grades 10-11) and bestow the accompanying degree. The school also constructed a proposal for an extra year between Basica Secundaria (grade 1-9) and Media Vocacional which would provide more time for the student’s intellectual and character development, work opportunities, exchange programs with the U.S. and the pursuit of personal interests. The proposal received public recognition at the 4th Latin-American Congress of Rural Education and Psychology.
