Vida Jr. High School Chijulhá grade eight

In the first year of Junior High, your grade 8 students are building on the comprehensive education they received as elementary students within the Vida school system. They are working on improving their logical, reflective, critical and creative thinking skills and applying this to problem solving. They are learning to understand their body and how health and well-being contributes to their growth and development. They are exploring art, science, and technology and learning to exhibit responsibility for their tasks inside and outside of the classroom. They are learning about processes to create and promote social and productive projects for the development of their community and they’re continuing to learn how to live according to the Christian principles they’re discovering in the Bible.

Vida Jr. High 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 Jr High School which serves almost 50 students from Grade 8 to 10 from five surrounding communities. Many of these students come from single-parent homes, and some live on their own or care for siblings while their parents are away working. It’s very difficult for them to find food to eat each day. At the Vida School the students are given a daily meal and are provided with many other supports that makes attending school possible. These students are receiving a Junior High education, which is rare in this region, where many drop out much earlier. At Agua de Vida Chijulhá, they are discovering a future full of hope while learning to seek God and share His love with their families. Our mission is to see them grow into godly leaders who will serve the Lord and impact their community for years to come.
