Education

At Vimenti, education is the bedrock of our mission. We are committed to consistently improve and strengthening our abilities to help children advance to mastery in all aspects of the learning process. Education is the cornerstone for breaking the cycle of poverty.

School

After significant research, Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico (BGCPR) launched Vimenti School, a school where a dynamic learning environment fosters the discovery of individual talents and develops students with integrity and compassion who will shape a changing world. Born through collaboration between BGCPR and Saint John’s School of Puerto Rico, Vimenti will set high expectations for its students. It has established the first public charter school in Puerto Rico with the caliber and prestige to reach out to the community, have an impact beyond its immediate community and lead necessary education reform in Puerto Rico.

Because education is the foundation of a solid future, Vimenti has a bilingual k-5 school program that is rigorous and differentiated to allow for students to thrive at their instructional level of readiness. Our students learn in a Project Based Learning environment where they are encourage to be lifelong learners, problem solvers and leaders. Vimenti school’s students participate of our after school program that extends until 5:30 pm and that provides academic support trough reading / writing and extracurricular activities such as computers, entrepreneurship and arts, among other.


The Academic Support Program provides students regular tutoring, specialized Spanish tutoring, literacy and conversational English, complemented with experiences that encourage the integral development of the participants. Each participant goes through an individual assessment to determine their needs and to develop an individual plan to promote the achievement of their established educational goals and standards.

Our Post-Secondary program allows participants to be engaged in college exploration activities that are engaging and relevant to the curriculum. Once the participant is enrolled in a post-secondary institution the participant receives support until completion.
