School site

This is the site of the international school where I will be teaching 4th grade next year:

http://www.internationalschool.hn/index.html

Here is an overview of the school from the website:

International School is private Christian bilingual school in Tegucigalpa, Honduras with a current enrollment of approximately 1100 students. IST was originally founded in 1981 as a nursery school. In June of 1991 IST graduated the first senior class. A culturally diverse body of approximately 110 full time teachers compromise the International School faculty. The student/faculty ratio is approximately 12.1

IST student body consists mostly of Honduran natives who have learned English as a second language. All students that graduate continue on to study in four year Universities. All core subjects in grades Pre-Kinder through 12 Grade are taught in English, by certified teachers. IST is staffed with approximately 130 employees, (teaching assistants - administrators). Teachers hold a bachelor's degree in education or a teaching license from a North American institution. In addition there are faculty and administration who hold a Master's/Doctors degree in education or business administration. Curriculum experts are brought in from Canada or USA annually to consult the material being taught.
