Pre University Academy

The parish of Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer), Vallecito, Arequipa.

Program Coordinator:

Rev. Juan Carlos Revilla

The pre university academy is a project amongst young people, offering classes in various subjects (literature, mathematics, history, geography, etc.) in order to prepare students for university entrance examinations.

Classes are held on the church premises each morning with 6 sessions daily and some activities on Saturday, including invitation to the church youth group. Many accept this invitation and young people and some of their families are now attending the church regularly, and also some of the teachers. As a result of this ministry each year there are always a good number of students who are successful in their examinations and gain a place in a local university.

Students pay a nominal monthly fee for their classes but this does not cover all costs and overheads. Support for this project will therefore help provide additional materials and resources for those studying.
