Many people stopped to inquire about CNY Institute of Academics and Performance where the founders delivered information. The most frequent questions were: Where is it located? Can we visit it already? Are registrations opened?  The founders appreciate the interest. We thank Spanish Action League (AKA “La Liga”) Executive Director, Rita Paniagua, who enthusiastically have cooperated promoting CNYIAPCS. Gracias.
