In 2009, Eagle’s Nest was given the unexpected opportunity to acquire the local Christian elementary school attended by many of the children in our Home. Though this wasn’t part of our original vision, our board prayed and felt led to move forward. It became a meaningful way to continue providing consistent education for our kids while expanding our impact in the community.

When Eagle’s Nest first took over the school, enrollment was just 60 students. By the next year, the student body had doubled. Today, nearly 200 students attend New Day School, including about 20 children from the Home.

Students at New Day School receive a strong Christian education from pre-k through 6th grade, with classes in Science, Math, and two foreign languages languages—English and Kakchiquel, the local indigenous dialect—along with many other subjects that prepare them for a bright future. 

School expenses average $700 per student each year, which means it costs roughly $14,000 annually to educate the children from our Home, ages preschool - 6th grade. This DOES NOT include education expenses for our kids in middle school, high school, and those continuing their education in college or technical school.

Sponsorships are available at various levels. If you feel led to invest in the education of young minds in Guatemala, we would love to connect with you. You can email us through our CONTACT page.
