School
Located in one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Tijuana; since
1989 the goal of the La Roca Community School has been to provide an
education to children in need. There is power in education; power to overcome adversity and power to achieve dreams.
Fully funded by donations, private schools such as ours are giving children an opportunity to learn, explore, play, be challenged and make lasting friendships. We provide them with all the necessary components to create a well-rounded and balanced education. Math, science, history, Spanish, and social studies classes as well as daily recreation time are all among these components. We also offer extracurricular activities including computer skills, English classes, and the La Roca Color Guard Squadron. Community events are held often for the families of the school children, ending each year with the annual graduation ceremony.
We pride ourselves in having the best teachers and in providing the best education around. Here are just a few of our many successes from the past few years:

The La Roca Color Guard Squadron won 3rd place in the Tijuana
color guard competition.
