La Palabra means “The Word” in Spanish. This school provides a high-quality Christian education for pre-primary, primary, junior high, and high school students in Monjas, Guatemala (560 students). The local Evangelical Central American Church started the school in 2001 as a means of giving their children a Christian education and as a means to reaching out to the community. Approximately 50% of the students are from the church. The school fees for these students are paid for by their parents. The other 50% of the students come from poorer families in the local community and are supported through the Word & Deed Sponsorship Program.
