The History of the Amigos Academy
The Amigos Academy began as parents’ dream to simply to have a building for their children to attend school. For years, students gathered under a plastic tarp, but intense rainy seasons destroyed the learning environment and left the community of La Chuscada without reliable access to education.
In 2015, the community partnered with Amigos to build a temporary wooden school. Students attended this school for a few years, but the community dreamed even bigger. In 2016, construction of a modern school began, and in 2018 the Amigos Academy began serving children ages 3-12 years. In 2021, the Amigos Academy opened its doors for the first time as a private institution providing an elite education. Learn more about the Amigos Academy story here!
