If you ran a school in which tuition fees only covered 4% of the budget, would you be nervous about its profitability? At the San Francisco Agriculture School, this isn't a problem in the least. In fact, this school is totally self-sustaining and profit generating.
In a rural low-income town outside of the capital city of Asunción, Fundación Paraguaya has blended the social development goals of a quality high school education with entrepreneurship and hands-on work experience. This model allows graduates to either continue their studies at college, or have the tools to create an income in their own community. Students here rotate through various sectors of agriculture operations as well as hotel operations. You can stay at the
Cerrito hotel on your next vacation, or book it as a conference center if you'd like!
