Secondary Programme
Students from the Nueva Esperanza School receive direct scholarships through sponsorships, which provide them with essential educational supplies. Each student is equipped with a school kit (backpack, notebooks, pencils) and a school uniform that includes a pair of shoes. In the second semester, they receive additional supplies, including more notebooks, pencils, and a USB drive.
In 2023, 94 out of 100 scholarship students successfully passed the academic year. This success is supported by a dedicated team consisting of four educators (two scholarship recipients and two local volunteers) and an education professional who offer school reinforcement in various subjects, including Spanish, mathematics, art, English, and computer science.
To further enhance their learning experience and academic performance, students also receive afternoon reinforcement classes. These sessions are specifically designed to help them solidify their understanding of the subjects taught, address any learning gaps, and prepare them for upcoming exams. The reinforcement classes are instrumental in boosting the students’ confidence and improving their overall school performance.
Additionally, 10th and 11th-grade students benefit from Life Skills workshops, which prepare them for real-world challenges. The collaboration with other organizations enriches the students’ educational journey by offering theater classes, storytelling sessions, and life skills courses through a virtual platform. These activities not only enhance their academic knowledge but also develop their creativity, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills.
Currently, there are 62 secondary school scholarship recipients who continue to thrive and make the most of these comprehensive educational opportunities. Through these combined efforts, the Nueva Esperanza School ensures that its students are well-prepared for future academic and personal success.
