It began with a simple vision, one that lingered in the hearts of Juan and Melissa Rosales long before the first bell ever rang. In 2018, the vision of founding a school began to take shape when they opened the doors of Colegio Evangélico Fuente Inagotable del Saber, not knowing how deeply the life of a school would intertwine with their own. They began with just 45 students — a single classroom, a handful of dreams, and a step of faith.
Juan, trained as an accountant, discovered his true vocation not in balancing numbers, but in standing before a classroom, shaping lives rooted in Christ. Melissa volunteered as the school’s secretary, carrying the school’s mission in her heart. She recalls, “I wanted to impact future generations and help prepare good citizens.”
A Family Mission
Juan and Melissa’s son, Daniel, grew up within these walls. As a toddler, he arrived each morning in a stroller pushed by his mother, the rhythm of school life shaping his earliest memories. He learned his first songs in the music band at age seven, made friends in sunlit classrooms, and completed both primary and secondary school surrounded by parents and teachers who knew him best.
When Daniel began high school, he carried with him the inner confidence and values he had gathered from home and school alike. Years later, he returned to his parents’ school — not as a student, but as the English teacher. “I am so proud because my parents are the founders of the school,” Daniel says, his voice steady with gratitude. “I’m proud to help the new generation of this school.”
Edify’s partnership arrived as a gentle nudge toward new possibilities. As the school improved, they joined the Core Program, and Juan and Melissa found fresh ways to grow and space to dream bigger. Training sessions and coaching encouraged them to create a more welcoming environment. Community engagement increased as parents worked together to build a playground. The school’s technology program expanded from five old computers to a modern lab with more than 30 machines. Now, every student has individual access to technology, and the community’s perception of the school has soared.
Carrying the Mission Forward
At the heart of it all is a family centered on Christ: a father’s vision, a mother’s unwavering care, and a son’s decision to carry the mission forward. As Daniel now teaches in the same classrooms where he once learned, there is an ever-present hope: perhaps, one day, his own children will walk these halls, reading from the very books his parents placed on the shelves. The legacy continues — rooted in faith, shaped by love, and sustained by the enduring strength of family.
