International School at a Glance

International School is a Christian bilingual school located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, serving many Honduran children and their families. As a teacher, you can explore life in Latin America as you grow spiritually, professionally, and form new and lasting relationships.

Academics

Academics are of high importance at International School. We follow a North American calendar of September to June. Our English curriculum use textbooks from North American publishers which are updated on a regular basis. As most of our 1,000 students are learning in their second language, we make an extra effort to offer extensive review sessions and after school programs to assist them in their learning. Our students are qualified to continue their education at universities and colleges, in the United States, Honduras, and other countries.

Christian Emphasis

We believe that regeneration is provided through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross is essential for each person.

Community

Most North American International School teachers and staff live in houses located near the school. Single teachers will share houses, and married couples will have their own apartment or house. Each teacher will have his or her own bedroom. Houses are furnished by the school with items such as couches, chairs, basic cooking supplies, utensils, TV, VCR, table, bed and dressers. International School values the importance of community amongst the teachers. Many teachers form close friendships with their housemates and coworkers during their time here through various activities and retreats that you are invited to attend. We understand that making a move to a new country may cause some concerns or reservations, and we want to assure you that we will assist in any way that we can to help your adjustment to Honduras and International School to be a smooth one.
