About this grade

This year, students begin to organize information and ideas more effectively to support their statements and observations with facts and details in different subjects. For example, the students will give class presentations! They’ll also further develop their verbal and non-verbal communication skills, along with digging into fractions, multiplication and division. Technology class and a swimming course helps them discover something new that they can do!

At this age, the students love to play! Running around outside, playing in the park, and having fun with a ball are great outlets for energy! The students also enjoy spending time with their families, playing video games, and watching television. They also have vivid imaginations.

About this school

Rey Sabio Salomon Christian School serves kindergarten through 12th grade. The school uses the Bible as its foundation: they want to teach God’s Word AND plant seeds in each student’s life! The teachers and students strive to live out their core values of Truth, Affirmation, Integrity, Purpose, and Selflessness.

About the community

The school is in La Comuna, a unique, beautiful community in Quito, the capital of Ecuador. The community is in the city without being part of the city: they have their own rules and laws. The community is close-knit and everyone knows each other. When one member has a problem, others will usually offer help if they can. However, it’s a vulnerable area full of social problems, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, violence, and lack of education. Many of the students come from non-functional homes that create low self-esteem in them. The belief that they are nothing and that the place where they live defines them has created a community that feels that it has nothing to give.

Income per family is low and eating habits, although they have improved, are not adequate. This is largely because their average income does not allow them to access certain products and they do not have the knowledge of how to balance their diet. Thus, the present health problems in the community surround ??malnutrition, stomach problems due to lack of hygiene, and respiratory problems.

The school has impacted the community by helping students to have greater confidence that they can improve their lives AND in the certainty of Jesus' love for them and their care!
