Asociación Para el Desarrollo Educativo - APDE - is a nonprofit institution founded in 1970 by a group of parents,
professionals and educators with a vision to create, maintain and develop schools that offer comprehensive and high quality education.
Now is a good time to look back, forty or more years, to reflect on the underlying values and ideas on
which these schools were grounded; evaluate the paths we have taken, contrast the results with
our Mission and Vision, and decide upon the tasks that await us in the near future.
In 1970, after searching for alternatives that could offer a complete and complementary education for their children, one that would help them educate their mind in the truth, their caracter in the virtues, and their spirit in Christian values, a group of concerned parents decide to join forces, find the experts, define what they were looking for, and fund the creation of what we now know as APDE.
