We just got our new Academia Juarez website setup and rolling. We will have new information about what is going on at the school, or with the alumni, or around the area about every week or two, so come back often and check the site.

We have included a “Photos” page, so you can upload photos to the site. We want everyone to post 2-3 photos, with a comment if you want, and we will start posting them October 1, 2009.

Academia Juarez

From Wikipedia:

The Academia Juárez has existed since 1897. The school is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It goes from 7th to 12th grade.

The Juarez Stake Academy (JSA) or Academia Juárez, located in Colonia Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, is a private high school owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It was founded in 1897 by LDS colonizers. During the 2008-2009 school year, 418 students were enrolled in classes. Approximately 73% of those are LDS; most of the remaining 27% are affiliated to the Catholic faith.

JSA students are required to adhere to an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings. Such honor code requires students to be modestly dressed and groomed, avoid the consumption of drugs and alcohol, and to practice academic honesty. On average, 70% of LDS young men that graduate from the JSA take a two-year hiatus from their studies to serve as Mormon missionaries. In some cases, female JSA graduates also choose to serve as missionaries.

The high school’s main purpose is to prepare its students to serve as bilingual leaders (i.e., fluent in Spanish and English) through a balanced spiritual, academic, technological, physical, and cultural education.
