The community of Yelapa and the school administration have worked very hard to provide the students of La Escuela Secondaria with many educational opportunities.  The school has approximately 15 computers (though they are not connected to the Internet) and they are in the process of building a new computer lab on campus. Several athletic opportunities are offered through La Escuela Secondaria and students have access to a library on campus as well.  

La Escuela Secondaria is excited to be participating in One World Youth Project and they hope to publicize their school and programs to the world!
