About Holistic Schools

Constanza School (Centro Cristiano Rio En El Desierto) began as a tutoring and care center in 2004 and transitioned into a full-day holistic care school in 2016, now serving over 200 of the most vulnerable children from age 3 preschool through ninth grade.

As the first Kids Alive school to implement a sensory room, it leads in trauma-informed teaching and care while also running a significant sports ministry that serves over 200 children and youth. Truly an oasis in the desert, the school provides education, support, and Biblical values to children and families in need.

Current Ways to Pray

  • That more students would be inspired to share testimonies of how God has worked in their lives, and that the truths they learn at school would touch the hearts of their family

  • That the Lord would watch over each employee, renewing their strength daily. May He grant them patience, good health, and wisdom as they work with the children. 

  • That God would send the right educators to fill our needs in Math, Social Sciences, and Art. 

  • 28 students in early education (Preschool and Kindergarten) are in need of sponsors
