About the Bay Islands International School |
What We Believe: We believe that the Bay Islands International School, formerly known as Sandy Bay Alternative School offers the best education on the island for both national and international children and one of the best in the country of Honduras. We are serious about providing an education experience that will prove most beneficial to the individual, and not one in which standardization is most important. We use proven teaching and learning models which emphasize individuality and creativity. This offers an education that will ultimately provide much more opportunity in life for the individual. |

SBAS Teaching and Learning Philosophy:
Our work as teachers at the Bay Islands International School is not so much about how much information each student has absorbed at any given time but how often, and to what consistency, we have brought out the best in each individual. If we have defined as our primary goal to bring out the best in each student, the learning will take place nearly automatically, and more will be achieved. Students thrive in an environment where inventiveness and creativity are encouraged, and students are empowered to innovate. The student-teacher relationship needs to be one of collaboration where the student, guided by the teacher discovers and develops their own instinct to learn. Of course, this goal is not attained without a process. What we most often think of as teaching is this process. But the real value to the learner is in the guiding and leading of the student so that each will respond to their own instinct to learn. This type of education becomes a joy for the learner. It also becomes a joy for the educator. |
