As the coordinator for the Children’s English Program at The Careyes Foundation, I’m thrilled to share our progress for the month of October 2026. Our commitment to local education remains stronger than ever, with core and extracurricular English classes running smoothly across 12 elementary schools in our region.
This month, our lessons focused on everyday conversations tied to life right here on the coast. Helping students connect English to their daily lives shows them just how practical and empowering language learning can be, setting them up for better job opportunities and financial stability down the road.
Teacher Development & Classroom Innovation
To ensure we bring the highest quality education to our classrooms, our team of local teachers recently had the incredible opportunity to attend Jalisco Academy 2026. We came back inspired and equipped with fresh knowledge for our communities. Personally, I was deeply fascinated by the AI Robotix workshop, and we are already sharing this exciting knowledge with our students from Emiliano Zapata at the local Casa de la Cultura, bringing technology and language learning together!
