Vida Elementary School Chijulhá preschool

Your class is learning a lot this year! In pre-kinder the students are learning about who the Lord Jesus is and about His truths. They are introduced to the concept of God's love and who their neighbor is, and are learning to relate to their classmates. We want our pre-kinder students to understand that God created them and loves them and we want them to accept and value themselves. The students will engage in simple drawing and molding activities using materials like plasticine and clay. They will learn independence in age-appropriate activities, coordinating their eye-motor movements while dancing, imitating movements, and exploring materials. The students will be taught the numbers from 1 to 10, how to identify vowels, and how to develop autonomy in basic aspects of personal care and hygiene.

Vida Elementary School Chijulhá

The Agua de Vida Chijulhá campus is located in the community of Chijulhá, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala and hosts two school programs: an elementary school (opened in 2018) and a junior high school (opened in 2023). This class is part of the Agua de Vida Chijulhá Elementary School which serves over 150 students from Pre-kinder to Grade 7 from five surrounding communities. Many homes that our students come from have only one parent present, and it is not unheard of to have siblings on their own for extended periods of time. It’s very difficult for families to find food to eat each day. At the Vida School the children are given a daily meal and are provided with resources and support which otherwise would prevent them from attending. Children at Agua de Vida Chijulhá Elementary School are receiving an academic education and lives are being changed as students learn to seek God and bring His love home to their families. Our hope is that they will grow into godly leaders who will serve the Lord and impact their community.
