Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
To provide an educational environment responsive to the Psychosocial and interests needs of our students, so they can complete their secondary education and be able to continue studying, obtain and retain a job or generate work opportunities so as them to be self-sufficient and seek a better quality of life.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To identify and provide assistance to youths and adults with limited economic resources to obtain a fourth year high school diploma based on a non traditional and alternative holistic program.
-
Alternative education Program-Nuestra Escuela was founded as a a community-based organization with the primary function of providing to those youth who has abandoned the school with an alternative model of education to finish high school. The model focuses on the improvement of social and economic well-being while advancing its learning and educational attainment. A collaborative group of education social work and psychology experts develop an alternative educational program through an action-research process based on the principle that the social psychological situations of teens needed to be addressed alongside their academic goals in order for them to become productive members of society. The efforts have produced an effective community-based program in which student's competencies, self-esteem, family and peer relationships, and character are developed through caring and engaged personnel who work as a team. The present historic moment. requires hand-on transformation with a creative approach that focuses on the talent and I skills of youth paired with community and market needs in order to develop individuals who have the necessary skills and understanding to engage in projects and work that will support the culture, humanity and economy of our communities. For this reason, the model is not based on needs of what students lack, but rather skills and capacity development. The capacity is increased in the areas of bio-psychosocial.. academics, formation and entrepreneurship. The school has served 3,025 students, including active students and 1,663 graduates, with sustained retention of approximately 96% and attendance maintained in approximately 85%. Due largely to attitudinal changes in them, with reduction in violence and drug use and increase retention in post-high school studies. For year ended June 30, 2025, 513 students were served and 94 students graduated. Enterprising initiatives include vegetable garden fishing, agriculture and tourism. Other accomplishments include the insertion in Puerto Rico's public schools providing support for the adoption of the school model as a resource to increase student retention. At the international level, Nuestra Escuela is promoting and supporting the transformation of education in Latin America and Africa. In the America's 19 nations are currently.. represented. In Africa, the initiative proposes developing and promoting the school's alternative educational model.
