Glory Christian School's Mission Statement: Founded by Rev. Bonita Ahring, we at Glory Christian School believe that children need to be educated in Spirit, mind, and body. We further believe that this best takes place in a Jesus centered classroom led by a Christian teacher. We are dedicated to providing low cost but high quality education especially to the children of those in the full-time ministry. Glory Christian School is a school of excellence based in the Word of God, filled with the Spirit, and thus training mature leaders that reproduce themselves in others impacting Costa Rica and the Nations.

Glory Christian School is a Evangelical (Charismatic) based organization. We do require our participants to be of the same faith. Our volunteers will not be involved in religious proselytizing.
