Extracurricular activities
During the schooling ages of boys and girls, there is a tough task to provide the students with extracurricular activities that will contribute in their personal growth with complementary educative subjects. It is at this point were Meca Centre takes place. Everybody knows about those usual activities organized by the Mothers' and Fathers' Association such as music, dancing, sports, theater and so on. But there are others that due to a lack of human and material resources cannot be carried out if it is not through professional academies.
Our main objective is that the students get into class convinced of what they want to learn and knowing that the system used will be funny and effective, not wasting their time and that just bringing in a little of their effort they will all acquire the expected results.
