Bridging The Gap: Empowering Futures, One Child at a Time
Imagine a world where every child has access to quality education, where the barriers to learning are broken down, and opportunities abound. This is the vision we strive to achieve every day.

Our mission is to provide essential support that delivers meaningful change, breaking the cycles of limited opportunities and opening doors to brighter futures.

Estrellita Curriculum: Building Strong Foundations (Kinder 4, Kinder 5, Kinder 6)
In El Salvador, many children lack early reading instruction. Our Estrellita Accelerated Beginning Spanish Reading Program offers an engaging, innovative approach to literacy, ensuring every child has the chance to thrive. Starting from Pre-K, students receive intensive reading and comprehension skills, preparing them to read fluently by first grade. Our dedicated teachers, supported by professional development from top educators, implement this life-changing program.
Heggerty Bridge to Reading Curriculum: Opening Doors with a Second Language (1st-6th Grade)
Learning English can transform a child's future, providing new opportunities and pathways. From first through sixth grade, our students receive six years of comprehensive English instruction, building on the strong foundation laid by the Estrellita program. This early language acquisition equips them with skills that open doors to endless possibilities.
Math Program: Strengthening Skills, Shaping Futures (4th-9th grade)
We are excited to introduce upcoming intervention programs to address math deficiencies, ensuring every student has the support they need to excel.
Scholarships: Investing in Dreams
Economic barriers often prevent bright students from pursuing higher education. Our foundation awards five to ten scholarships annually to dedicated high school graduates, covering essential expenses like books, transportation, and food. The students also engage in community service, contributing 10 hours weekly to our academic programs, nutrition initiatives, and clothing distribution. Those who need extra preparation for university admission receive targeted tutoring, ensuring they are ready for the challenges ahead.
