Our History
The institution was born from the inspiration carried by the service and vocation, from its founder Ms. Martha Chiriboga Castro, towards the children of the city; starting with work in the school year 1999 providing the first educational offer for children of 3 years under the regency of the INNFA. Its first headquarters operated in the streets Aurelio Aguilar and Agustín Cueva.
With the passage of time and in consideration of student demand, permits were opened to expand the educational offer in the first instance to basic general education, which led to the transfer to the second headquarters in LLacao Parish, under the regency of the Ms. Guadalupe Jara Arévalo, implementing personalized education as an educational model.
The third site (current location) was considered to provide a comprehensive service to students, which addresses all levels of the Ecuadorian educational system, assuming the rector of the Educational Unit Ms. Elsa Bermeo Jaramillo, aligning the educational institution with the currents of constructivist learning.
