About Us
It’s About Kids is a California nonprofit corporation with federal 501(c)(3) status that was started in 1997. The organization was established to facilitate support for mission projects from the United States in Ecuador, South America, where we have a sister foundation by the same name.

Montebello Academy
In 2006 Montebello Academy, a project of the US and Ecuadorian Foundations It’s About Kids, became legally recognized as a K-12 school in Ecuador reaching enrollment of nearly 700 students supported by a fully employed staff of over 130 persons faithfully committed to serving the mission. To date we have had 12 graduating classes with alumni receiving university scholarships nationally and internationally, representing Montebello on every continent of the planet. The reach of our mission has been from the coast to the cordillera (Andes Mountains) and into the Amazon jungle region of Ecuador. For more about the history of our work in discipleship among marginalized children of this tiny country, as well as our current and future projects, all can be found by following the menus in this site.

Island Academy Galápagos
“It’s About Kids has been invited by key persons from San Cristobal, the capital of the Galapagos Islands archipelago, to establish a school that will offer all the advantages of our Quito campus, Montebello Academy, to an even greater marginalized and isolated segment of Ecuadorian culture.”

Montebello University
Montebello University is a very significant project launching this year. The objective of the University is very narrow but specific to our mission in that the B.Ed or M.Ed degrees that we will be offering are primarily giving emphasis to our celebrated learning methodology. – resumen
