The school is authorized by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education and offers a U.S.-Guatemala program.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In its first year CDA provided schooling for approximately 225 students in grades 1-4. The school now instructs students from Infants to 12th Grade and has kept a steady enrollment above 950 students. The grades are divided into four divisions: Early Learning Center (Infants-Kindergarten), Elementary (Grades 1-5), Middle School (6-8), and High School (9-12).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div
