El Jordán  school began as an elementary school in a tight building in the middle of the city of Boaco.  In only three years it was able to open a full high school!  Unable to house all these students, a second campus was developed in a semi-rural area outside town to which the older students are bussed every day.

El Jordán produces quality alumni – many of which are business professionals now who are still proud of their school!  In 2009 the school was given the distinction of having the 10^th grade student of the year from the whole region.   They have won awards in Science, Math, Spanish, and Composition.

The community is poor and many of the students are the first of their family to receive an education.  It is the goal of the school to reach out to such students to teach them both the skills to succeed in life as well as create a strong spiritual foundation in them.
