“Good teachers deliver lessons their students are required to learn. Great teachers look beyond the curriculum to see the child as a whole. They notice individual needs, respond with compassion, and ensure no student slips through the cracks.

Lucy Arias is one such teacher. At Colegio Nueva Vida, she works closely with fellow educators to identify and support students who are struggling. When she recognized that one student was having difficulty with reading and writing, she partnered with the school director and the child’s parents to arrange an evaluation. Since then, Lucy meets with him several afternoons each week. The results have been remarkable. Not only has he grown academically, but his confidence has strengthened and his desire to learn has flourished.

Leonely Gonzalez, a teacher at our school in Los Castillos, also goes above and beyond. She cultivates a classroom based on trust and respect-listening attentively to her students and valuing their voices. By maintaining consistent communication with parents, she builds strong partnerships that support every child’s success. We are deeply grateful for these exceptional teachers and their faithful investment in their students” futures.” ~Heather Williams Katz
