On Wednesday, March 10, 2010, the Association of Christian Schools International published an official letter giving their support to the Ayudando a Crecer (Helping to Grow) Foundation as it develops the TIV centers.  This letter officially documents the support that ACSI has given to the foundations since 2005, when this prestigious organization began to especially support this initiative by evaluating and providing guidance of various types.

In their letter written not only in Spanish but also in English, ACSI affirms:

 

  • We are acquainted with the TIV centers in Andalusia (Spain) sponsored by the Fundación Ayudando a Crecer.  They are an innovative organization of great public interest and benefit to society.
  • We have supported, supervised and backed these initiatives since 2005 and continue to do so today.
  • We willingly give our encouragement and counsel to the Fundación Ayudando a Crecer in defining the ideals and Christian content of their TIV Centers.
  • We willingly support them as they establish and operate the TIV Centers.  We will facilitate relationships between the TIV centers and Christian schools in other countries for mutual enrichment and ddevelopment of joint activities.
  • We look forward to the TIV Center becoming fully accredited members once they have passed the required accreditation procedures.

 

The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) works to accomplish its mission by providing programs, services and resources to its 5,500 member schools in more than 100 countries. Service is provided through a network of 18 regional offices throughout North America and in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The ACSI representatives to sign the letter were Dr. Estuardo Salazar, Regional Director for Latin America and Thoma Hilgeman, M.A. Educational Consultant. It was through Thomas Hilgeman that our relationship with the ACSI began as he was at that time designated int the European regional office.  He personally visited in 2006 to meet the educational team and hear in person the details for the first TIV project.
