The Academy covers Day Care through high
school. Mr. Keith Rheinheimer, a graduate of Bob Jones University, is the administrator. Keith
has 8 years experience in Day School work and teaching in the United States, and
has been teaching since 1992 in Mexico. Qualified teachers from the United
States staff the school.
American missionary wives plus a Mexican lady from one of the independent Baptist
churches in Aguascalientes staff the Day Care.
The Academy program is conventional. We do not use "Programmed Learning" (packets
such as ACE). Materials are selected from the Bob Jones University, "One-room
Schoolhouse" program, Abeka Book form Pensacola Christian College, and selected material
from various other sources. Baptist missionaries, who live and work in the
Aguascalientes area, teach the academy Bible classes.
The course includes time for preparing the students in Spanish, Latin Culture, and
the Latin life style of all of Latin America. Field trips are a part of the
education the children receive. These field trips allow the missionary children
to observe and to study the history and culture of Mexico.
The Academy meets on the same campus as the Language Institute.
The hours of the Academy coincide with the hours that of the language classes.
This provides convenience for students in the Institute.
The entire campus is enclosed by a brick wall with a large gate that is closed during
school hours. Children are not allowed to leave the campus unless accompanied
by their parents. This provides security and peace of mind for the parents
while they are in the classroom. |
