Highlights: The teachers who are attracted to our school and to Honduras in general are those individuals who enjoy living in a city that is cosmopolitan, yet small enough to travel around easily; a country that offers beautiful beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, and mountains with cool, crisp air; close proximity and easy access to Central America, South America, the Bay Islands, the United States, the Caribbean Islands; and the best scuba diving in the world!

The hallmarks of Discovery International School are small class sizes (15-18 students), experiential (hands-on) learning opportunities, diversity (30 nationalities of students working side-by-side daily), and sharing of resources, knowledge and experiences. Our faculty is comprised of a team of highly qualified and committed professional teachers who believe in these qualities.
