Our Vision: At BIIS we develop and maintain an environment where children are empowered and enabled to discover better ways of thinking and decision-making.
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.
School StructureAt Bay Islands International School, we follow the U.S. Common Core curriculum standards, delivering an education that respects and empowers students while fostering their ability to learn and thrive. Our program ensures that students achieve the same academic level as their peers in the United States, equipping them to seamlessly transition into undergraduate programs in the U.S., Honduras, and around the world. Many of our students have successfully continued their education in the U.S., excelling in their respective grade levels and demonstrating the strength of their academic foundation. We are actively working with the Middle States Association, a respected accrediting body in the United States, to have our course credits certified. This important step will allow students graduating from our school to transfer their credits seamlessly to schools and universities in the U.S., further enhancing their educational opportunities. Our curriculum goes beyond academics by incorporating our GRIT Program, which fosters perseverance, resilience, and determination—qualities that prepare students to excel academically and in life. To maximize learning outcomes, we maintain small student-to-teacher ratios, enabling personalized attention and tailored support. The diverse backgrounds of our student body create a rich, collaborative learning environment that encourages critical thinking and global perspectives. In addition to our strong curriculum, we are committed to continuous improvement in education by adhering to the rigorous standards of the Middle States Association, ensuring our programs meet internationally recognized benchmarks for quality. |
