Sunday, February 5, entered the history of Adventist education in Bolivia thanks to the inauguration of the new UAB Adventist School, located within the campus of Bolivia Adventist University.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Magister Maria Mamani, the general director of the secondary level, representing the Ministry of Education; Carlos Sonagua, departmental secretary of human development, culture, and tourism, representing the governor of Cochabamba; Alfredo Lucana, mayor of Vinto; and leaders of the Adventist Church in Bolivia.
The new UAB Adventist School is located on 15,604 square meters (approx. 4 acres), divided into 3 blocks for kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels. It also has recreational areas for all levels, playgrounds, snacks, and 3 multifunctional courts for volleyball, basketball, and soccer practice. It also has a specialized library, chemistry, physics, biology and computer laboratories, and 50 themed classrooms suitable for students of the 3 levels of education.
Another characteristic that makes the new UAB Adventist School different and unique is the pedagogical model of zero homework and continuous evaluation, leaving aside the traditional form of quarterly exams. All students' academic performance, as well as class attendance, will be reported to parents through an application designed for this purpose.
In addition, students at the end of their education will be able to obtain a technical degree as English translators, thanks to an agreement with the Alife Institute, which will provide the English courses at no additional cost to the students of UAB Adventist School.
