Aroldo Noriega was born in Guatemala, Central America, in 1968. The picture was taken several years ago, but he has not changed it yet. 🙂

In 2001 he founded, along with his wife Dilia Morales, the Instituto Superior de Educación Abierta -ISEA- in Guatemala; in 2022, ISEA became the first online school accredited by Cognia in Central America.

In 2020 due to the needs brought about by the COVID pandemic, it was necessary to find a way to offer better curriculum alternatives to the growing number of international students at ISEA.

That is why Woodbridge Academy was established in Newport Beach, California, as a private, online, Christian non-denominational school to offer a California curriculum to Latin American students. Lately, it has also started to enroll students living in the US.
