Message from the Head of School

Welcome to Discovery School—Where Learning Becomes Discovery

​

As the Acting Head of School, it’s an honor to greet you on behalf of our vibrant community. With 30 years of experience as an educator and school leader, including a Certificate in School Management and Leadership from Harvard Graduate School of Education, I’ve witnessed firsthand how the right environment can transform students into confident, compassionate changemakers. Discovery School is that place.

​

Since 1993, our school has stood as a beacon of innovative learning, founded by families who believed Honduras deserved a world-class education rooted in curiosity, individuality, and global stewardship. Our secure campus is more than a school—it’s a launchpad for futures bright with possibility.

​

What Makes Us Unique?

• A Philosophy of Discovery: We believe education isn’t just about absorbing knowledge—it’s about igniting a lifelong love for learning. Every student’s journey is nurtured through personalized attention (7:1 student-teacher ratio) and a curriculum that challenges and inspires.

• Pillars That Define Us: Academic excellence, cultural diversity, critical thinking, and social-environmental responsibility aren’t just ideals—they’re the foundation of every classroom, playing field, and conversation here.

• Beyond the Classroom: With 27 after-school activities and 7 Advanced Placement courses, we prepare students not just for college (98% acceptance rate) but for life. Whether in sports,  debate, or community service, our students learn to lead with empathy and grit.

​​

Our Promise
To every family who joins us: We see your child’s potential, and we’re committed to helping them thrive—not just academically, but as resilient, ethical citizens of the world. Together, we’ll cultivate the skills and values they need to navigate an ever-changing future.
