Overview

Mission

Our primary goal is to form and assist purposeful and quality, Spanish-speaking Christian academic institutions. We believe that all children deserve the opportunity to study in a clean, structured, Christ-centered learning environment.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have a specialized, Mexican staff that teaches children academic music. We have a general choir. We have a small group of children with special needs that play hand bells, guitars, and other instruments. We also have a select choir for gifted children. We have an instrument band, which is something entirely unheard of in East Tijuana. And we have an adult choir. The choir has sung in churches, alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers, and orphanages.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
