The Guadalupe Way

At Guadalupe Center, we believe that compassionate education in a safe setting can transform lives—and even generations.  That’s why we’ve created a multigenerational learning community where children and adults can thrive.

Too often, economic disparity shapes the lives of families in Utah, whether they are new immigrants or long-established.  Our students face daunting challenges, but we are focused on their resilience, growth, and potential. We honor their heritage while activating their futures. 

We know that kids can’t learn unless they are fed. We know that parents facing language barriers can’t be the advocates they want to be. And we know that communities benefit when families flourish.

That’s why we are dedicated to serving the whole student—the whole family—with personalized academic education, life skills learning, and comprehensive wrap-around support.  

Our three education centers – Early Learning, Elementary Education, and Adult Educationoffer a full complement of programs including early learning intervention, an elementary school, adult English language classes, and more.

For more than six decades, we’ve done what it takes to ensure our students and families have what they need to thrive, at no cost. From three meals a day to transportation services and medical attention to school supplies, we mobilize our community partnerships to help our students and families with the life aspects of learning. Guadalupe Center is growing alongside our families. We believe in the potential of every child, parent, and family and the power of a place to learn, belong, and thrive. Join us at Guadalupe Center.
