AAI stands on the strong foundation of our mission, which we summarize in three words: Eternity, Excellence, and Community. We are dedicated to combining a high-quality, fully accredited academic program with a commitment to an authentic biblical worldview – all in a context of a caring community. We see the power of this mission as we observe its transformational power in the lives of our students and families.
Violent protests in late 2019, coupled with Ecuador’s COVID-19 response, have produced a doubly burdened economy that is unlikely to recover in the next few years. In order to maintain enrollment of students who truly represent our commitment to eternity, excellence and community, we have had to provide families with significant tuition discounts. We will be providing approximately $350,000 in financial aid this school year. Your donation helps us continue to serve students until their families can recover from this difficult time. (If you are interested in providing ongoing sponsorship of a specific student, please contact Ron Sutton at advancement@alliance.k12.ec)
Donations will also assist in providing targeted spiritual growth activities for students.
If you had the pleasure of knowing Dave Landers, we needn’t say more. Students need clear human examples of our lofty goals in Christ. Your donation to the David Landers Memorial Scholarship helps us provide the very best AAI education to the very best students. Scholarship recipients either embody, or are inspired toward, the great love and spiritual maturity that Dave brought to campus, every day.
AAI learned a lot about serving students online last semester. It is likely current COVID regulations will remain in place, and that students will finish this semester online as well. We know that maintaining AAI’s proud tradition requires that we do much more than merely keep kids from falling behind during the pandemic. We must excel. Your donation to COVID learning interventions helps us provide technology solutions for special education situations, more socio-emotional support, more one-on-one tutoring, and even home visits as the law permits. Funds will also go toward technology solutions such as SeeSaw, EdPuzzle and Zoom.
This will permit us to provide an excellent online education and offer services that other schools don’t, such as extending special education into students’ homes.
You undoubtably already know, or have at least heard about, the beauty of living Quito. You also know what a struggle it can to maintain an ever-improving relationship with God when surround by the constant hustle and bustle of such a dense urban environment. Your donation for Spiritual Formation will help start and improve programs at AAI’s farm in Calacali. Faculty and staff will have exactly what they need to “get away from it all” - and get into better touch with God.
Donations will also assist in providing targeted spiritual growth activities for students.
Our philosophy that financial concerns must be properly balanced with genuinely serving our students is evident in one of the lowest student-teacher ratios in Ecuador. We are committed to serving every student; not just the ones who need extra help, and certainly not just the ones who are easy to serve.
Your donation helps us maintain our low student-teacher ratio so that every student is personally challenged to do their very best, not just get a passing grade.
AAI desires to continue to be a light for Christ in Ecuador. We are relaunching the Community Service Outreach program so that students have first-hand opportunities to serve the community.
Your donation to CSO helps students make Christ known, while they grow from the experience.
We are always looking for Alumni and friends who are willing to donate their time and expertise to assist in special projects. For example, right now we’re looking for a designer or architect who can help render drawings to better communicate our vision for Calacali as well as campus enhancements. There are many needs beyond this pressing design need, if you’re feeling called to help out either in person or remotely, please let us know!
Your donation of Special Service not only helps us save money, it helps us maintain our AAI heritage as we move into the future, and it’s helps us all grow closer together as the AAI family.
