“This year has been an inspiring journey of growth and learning for everyone at Niños de Guatemala. I am incredibly proud of our students, teachers, and the entire community for their commitment to excellence.”
📚Academic Progress: Our students have shown remarkable improvement in reading and reading comprehension, thanks to the dedication of our teachers, the collaboration of parents, and the commitment of the students themselves. While progress continues, we remain focused on enhancing logical reasoning, English, and text production as key priorities.
😌Emotional and Social Well-being: We successfully implemented programs that foster emotional regulation and positive interactions, creating a safe and supportive environment for our students.
👩🏻🏫Staff Development: Our teaching and administrative teams have actively participated in professional training sessions, enriching their educational practices and contributing to the overall quality of instruction
👨🏻🎓Reducing Dropout Rates: We are proud to have significantly reduced the school dropout rate through consistent follow-up and individualized student support.
