The
Schools
After 6 years of healthcare improvements, the next need was to educate the
now healthy children.
Local government run schools were not able to do the job.
Most
children were destined to a life of no hope and poverty because there was
no one to give them a hand.
In 1995, a partnership of missionaries, Dominicans and Solid Rock
Missions built and opened a school to meet the educational needs of these
children.
This school (the Christian Center of Education
for Development- CCED) opened its doors in September 1995 with 170 students in four
grades.
More classes were added each year and more students as well.
The school now serves grades pre-school thru grade 12.
Twenty-seven students were in the first graduating class in 2001.
All of them now either have a job or are going on to higher
education. 
Besides
the basics, the school also offers vocational training to its high school
students and local adult education classes. Vocational training includes
computer technology, welding, baking, carpentry, masonry, engine
mechanics, and more.
The school is soon hoping to offer college courses as well.
In the last several years, Solid Rock Missions has offered its sponsorship program to other schools that requested help. We are now working with 6 different schools: the CCED and the Lucille Rupp School (in San Juan de la Maguana), the Jim Smith School (in El Rosario), the Lamb of God School (in Elias Piņa), the Christian Center for Integral Education (in El Cercado), and the Eastern School on Villa Esfuerzo (in Santo Domingo).
Sponsors Needed
We need your help. You can help us
guarantee that this needy children receive a high quality education. We
are looking for sponsors for the children that are attending the 6 schools
we are supporting. $26 a month ($312 yearly) will sponsor a child, which
will give them an excellent education and books and supplies.
Our General Scholarship fund provides for one time or regular gifts to help defray the costs of the unsponsored students attending the school. Generation by generation, the school is impacting lives for Jesus Christ. This is where we need your help.
