Vida & Esperanza School
Is a very special center of learning as it offers many diverse educational experiences and opportunities. The co-ed school opened it doors in 2000 with sixteen students in three primary grades. Vida & Esperanza has added to the number of grades taught and has increased their facility size to offer a Christ-centered education for kindergarten through 11th grade over the years.
This school offers specialized technical classes in robotics, metal and woodworking, CNC programming, graphic design, computer science, and music. The school is often involved in preparing their students to compete at district and national levels at various fairs and academic competitions.
The Vida & Esperanza School has at its core vision to raise up followers of Jesus Christ to disciple the nations. Christian curriculum, chapel services, and small groups all support and promote the spiritual formation and character development in the lives of the students.
Many of our Vida families send their children all 12 years to receive a quality education that is based on the Word of God with committed teachers, well-equipped classrooms, and industrial art shops. Vida & Esperanza believes in a holistic approach to education to meet the needs of students’ spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
