About Us

With the commitment to continue strengthening its Educational Network, the Board of Charity inaugurated the Mercedes Calderón Educational Unit, located in the south of Guayaquil, where the Calderón Ayluardo Home previously operated.

During the year 2025, children and young people in this sector had the opportunity to access a comprehensive, quality education based on high learning achievements, professional training, and human development, fundamental pillars of the Junta de Beneficencia’s educational model.

With this opening, the Junta reaffirms its purpose of providing education with a social purpose, creating spaces that promote the academic, personal, and civic development of new generations.

School Levels

Preschool

In this stage, we prioritize learning through play, allowing children to explore, experiment, and discover the world around them. We use an active and playful methodology that stimulates the development of language, motor skills, creativity, and logical thinking. From the early years, we promote contact with English in a fun and natural way, in addition to fostering emotional and human development, preparing a solid foundation for their future education.

Primary School

During primary education, our learners develop fundamental skills to understand their environment, solve problems, and communicate effectively. They learn to read comprehensively, write texts with an appropriate structure, and participate in conversations and debates on topics of their interest. Through integrative projects, they investigate their community and the country, critically reflect on social and environmental issues, and apply mathematical operations in daily life. We also promote entrepreneurship, the responsible use of technology, emotional and human development, as well as autonomy to learn with enthusiasm.

Secondary School

This stage strengthens critical thinking and active participation in social, political, and environmental issues, both locally and globally. Learners produce argumentative essays, present ideas clearly, and participate in discussions and community projects. They face academic challenges that require the use of technological tools, mathematical models, and data analysis. In addition, they construct an ethical vision of their environment, develop leadership skills, teamwork, and the ability to make responsible decisions, always from human values and environmental awareness.

Baccalaureate

The Baccalaureate is a key stage that prepares young people for their entry into the workforce or for the continuation of higher education. With the support of the Department of Well-being and Tutoring, learners receive vocational guidance that allows them to choose their path with clarity.

We offer two modalities:

Baccalaureate in Sciences, which strengthens academic skills and critical thinking, providing a solid foundation for pursuing university studies.

Technical Baccalaureate, which integrates general education with a technical specialization in a specific area, preparing learners for both the world of work and higher education in that field. Career: Computer Science with emphasis in Data Analysis.
