Select To Read These BIIS Facts

At BIIS we believe that every child deserves access to high quality education, regardless of the country where they reside or the circumstances under which they were born.

Our future is these children and we have an obligation to take care of them.

It is our intention that every one of our students develops better decision-making capabilities. When the student is lifted up the family is lifted up, when the family is lifted up the community is lifted up, when the community is lifted up the country is lifted up.

Our growth rate indicates that we are valued as an enduring education institution here on the island. We grew at around 50% per year until the 2020 pandemic occurred. This growth was because students were exhibiting rapid development in English language capability and also demonstrating more intelligence and ability to make better decisions.

Our core philosophy of inspiring students to discover is demonstrated as they go back into their communities and exhibit better ways of thinking and decision making. In school year 2025-2026 every one of our eleventh grade graduates found a job immediately after graduation or began university.

The Bay Islands International School graduation rate = 100%. Honduras graduation rate = 55%

The Bay Islands International School graduates attending University = 71%. Honduras rate of High School graduates who enroll in University = 16%

The Bay Islands International School graduates who are formally employed = 86% Overall Honduras rate of formal employment = 55%

Students who graduate from the Bay Islands International School are qualified and fully prepared to enter the formal workforce, enroll in a university, or both.

Studies show that migrants from Latin America that cross over into the US, both legally and illegally, have the lowest level of formal education compared to other regions of the world.

Students who finish high school and enroll in a university are much more likely to remain in Honduras and improve the quality of life for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Our Vision: At BIIS, we cultivate an environment where students are inspired to discover new ways of thinking, enabling them to reason independently, assess options responsibly, and choose well-informed actions.

Our Mission: We accomplish this vision by putting the student at the center of our program, incorporating character development and critical thinking skills into the delivery of academics, and in all ways approaching the execution of our mission with loving kindness bringing out the best in each child, at all times.

We believe that in everything we do we need to challenge the current practice. We believe in thinking differently. The way that we challenge the status quo is by crafting our program to include academics taught in English, positive character development, and critical thinking skills and by bringing out the best in each student each day. We also believe that the student comes first. We do this in a school that includes grades PreK through Twelve.


Education must begin with the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.
... Paulo Freire
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
... W.B. Yeats
If your plan is for one year, plant rice. If your plan is for ten years, plant trees. If your plan is for a lifetime, educate children.
... Confuscius
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
... Albert Einstein
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.... Nelson Mandela
Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.... Plato
