The school’s mission is to serve families in a vulnerable area of Barranquilla, Colombia, through Christian education spanning pre-primary, elementary, and high school. By educating approximately 300 children each year, the school combines a robust Christian curriculum with the transformative message of the Gospel. This approach seeks to shape the habits, thoughts, and behaviors of students and their parents, equipping them, by God’s grace, to bring these truths into the challenging environments they face. Despite the prevalence of teenage pregnancy, drug use, and “gang culture” in the area, our partners witness the positive impact of John Calvin Christian School (JCCS). In addition to the parent’s contributions, Word & Deed supports the students at JCCS through the Class Sponsorship Program, enabling life-changing education and Gospel outreach.
