NACE (Nicaragua Advances in Christian Education) was formed in 2013 with the specific mission of supporting the work in Nicaragua and helping the missionaries that work there. Its primary function was the establishment and running of a Christian school in Nueva Guinea (about 5 hours southeast of Managua, the capital).

“Colegio Cristiano Manto de Gracia” started its first full school year in February of 2011 with preschool, first, and second grades. Each year, a grade has been or will  be added, through high school. In December, 2015, we graduated our first ever sixth grade class. We have since added seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh (last year of high school in Nicaragua. In 2024 we graduated our 5th high school class.

Vision

Our vision is to provide a quality, Bible based education that emphasizes:

  1. Reading Nicaraguans typically do not read beyond what is necessary, including teachers. We want to develop a passion for reading in our students and, for that reason, have established a lending library.
  2. Music We hope to develop a music program, including a band someday. As of now, we do have a school choir.
  3. Sports While sports, in themselves, do not take the place of classes, they do provide the opportunity to teach solid Biblical values and discipline. As a small school from a rural area, we continue to compete on a national level.

We have also integrated the following into the school programs:

  1. Chess – we compete nationally in chess
  2. Computer classes as well as an after hours computer club.
  3. English classes in all grades, as well as an English club.
  4. A reading club to promote reading and reading comprehension.
