High
Standards of Excellence
We believe
there are no substitutes for academic rigor, and hold high expectations
for all of our students. We work one- on- one with children to help
them reach their academic potential and, at the same time, encourage
them to develop their self-confidence as learners and future contributors
to the society to which they belong and the world at large.

An
Enriched Learning Environment
The school
provides a total language immersion program in the English language.
This enables students to become fluent in both English and Spanish
at an early age. Both languages are applied to wide range of cultural
and recreational activities. All classes are taught in English with
the exception of Spanish and Spanish Social Studies.

Cultural
Understanding and Awareness
Students at
the Alison Bixby Stone School come from a diversity of cultures,
social, and economic backgrounds. The diverse population at the
school provides students with the unique opportunity of developing
social responsibility at an early age.
The school
follows a student-centered approach to teaching and learning. With
a maximum of 15-18 students per class, teachers establish a learning
environment conducive to meeting the needs of each student.
We believe
that if students research a project, solve a given problem, or perform
an experiment, learning becomes concrete and enjoyable. At the Alison
Bixby School
we provide experiential learning that reinforces the subject matter
taught.
The Alison
Bixby Stone School is located close to Tegucigalpa (about 35 km)
but far away from the noise, pollution and distractions of the city.
Its modern infrastructure includes a computer laboratory, library
and bright cheerful classrooms. Students and teachers have access
to Zamorano´s experienced faculty, state-of-the-art learning
laboratories and athletic facilities.
