Our History

The Volcanes Community Education Project (VCEP) was started by Arthur Fumerton in Spring 2011 at the Volcanes Primary School with the support of the Principal, Teachers, School Board, Parents Association, the Colonia Council and the City Council. The program grew out of the prior School of Champions which provided computer, math, and English instruction for 200 very poor students in grades 3 to 6.
