for rejoicing in the LORD is your strength!”
(Neh. 8:10)
(Cfr. Neh, 8,10)
Our school’s motto is based on the book of Nehemiah 8:10, referring to the experiences we all have in our lives: some are of joy and others of suffering. This reality is not unknown to our students who, despite the difficulties they may find, their strength to go on and pursue their dreams come from God’s love. That’s how they become a testimony and an example for us of how to face every day’s challenges so that together we’ll be able to have the Lord’s joy as our stronghold.
Our purpose
Provide an integral education in an appropriate environment through which our students may discover that they are loved and valued for who they are. All of our services are intended to help the development of our students in their different dimensions: physical, spiritual, psychical, and social. That’s how we’ll be able to help them become a person of good, capable to achieve their goals.

Joy, strength, and everything we do comes from the encounter we have with the love of God.

It’s an inner call to develop the ability to be aware of other people’s needs, helping them promptly and with joy, giving our best in doing so.
Respect
We recognize the deep value and dignity of every human being because they are beloved children of God, and therefore, with the full right to live and participate in society with equal opportunities.
Our history
The Joy of the Lord School was founded by Ms. Rosemarie Stemmler, on May 15, 1954, as an institution dedicated to the education and formation of children with physical or motor disabilities.
Our school received the Campodónico award in 1996 for service provided to society, being recognized as the only educational center in the country dedicated to the training and rehabilitation of children with normal intelligence who are affected by physical disabilities.
Our students receive an integral formation centered on the human person and education based on Christian values, which strengthens the identity and value of each student. This is how, in 2012, the musical «I Can: A Dream Made Musical» was organized, which portrays the message that our children and young people bring to life: «Make your story worthwhile, make your dreams come true, make spring appear in the pathways of your heart. May your angel never leave, and may you never move away from God; He is life, He is our strength, and you are the joy of the Lord”.
The school has an infrastructure specially designed to meet the needs of students, in addition to having a physical rehabilitation center and personalized attention that distinguish it from any other educational center.
