Accreditation and membership

CROEM was founded in the 1967-1968 school year, and was academically adopted in the 1990-1991 school year by the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus. In the 1992-1993 school year CROEM was inscribed in the Specialized School Unit of the Puerto Rico Department of Education. That same year, in its silver anniversary, it obtained the Blue Ribbon Award, an award of excellence granted by the US Department of Education. The school is accredited by the General Council of Education of Puerto Rico every six years.

Admissions

The admissions process is available to students from across the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and is open for the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. As part of the process of admission, the prospective students must meet some requirements, such as: a standardized test, several letters of recommendation and a GPA higher than 3.50. The school only accepts approximately 300 students per year.[1]

Location

The center is located in State Road 349, km 6.6 of Cerro Las Mesas in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. It has a panoramic view of 360 degrees where the municipalities of Cabo Rojo, Hormigueros, San Germán and Lajas can be appreciated, as well as the Caribbean Sea.

Due to the high altitude and distance from urban centers, CROEM students are not allowed to leave the Center on their own. The convenience of the location is such that it has been used by Federal programs such as The Globe Program.
