Instituto Nacional Mejía is a public secondary educational institution in Quito, the capital of Ecuador. It was founded on June 1, 1897.[1] Depends Ecuador Government through the Ministry of Education.
Mision
It is a secular and experimental High School that educates, prepares and graduates its students with a critical - reflexive mind, and provides them with a scientific humanist instruction which is compromised with social change and national development.
Motto
The school motto is the Latin phrase Per áspera ad astra literally translated as "On the rough path to the stars", but more commonly translated as "Per Aspera Ad Astra" (by the rough peniente to the summit).
Fiestas del Mejia
Each year, the celebrations for the anniversary of its creation are a huge spectacle [2]
