Amigos de Jesús relies on a Bilingual Primary School that provides the children at the Home with a high quality education. Because the majority of the children who come to our Home do not have a formal education, Amigos de Jesús offers a unique and personalized program that does not exist in the current public school system. The school counts on professional and volunteer staff members, from Honduras as well as from various parts of the world, forming an excellent team of teachers led by a specialized director.

For students who require more support, Amigos de Jesús offers a separate educational path with the majority of instruction in the native language, though students still receive exposure to the English language. This program is staffed by Honduran volunteers who receive intensive educational training, an unprecedented practice in Honduras which benefits the professional development of the teachers as well as the education of the students. Currently, the bilingual school has more than 150 students enrolled. Of those students, slightly more than half live at the Amigos de Jesús Home for Children, while the other students live in the surrounding region.

Bilingual education comes at a high premium in Honduras. By offering a quality bilingual education at an affordable cost, Amigos de Jesús aims to raise the overall standard of learning in our region, training the next generation of Honduran citizens and preparing them for economic and social leadership of their families and country. In fall 2013, Amigos de Jesús began a partnership with BECA (Bilingual Education for Central America) to offer a fully integrated English immersion program, not only for our students, but for the broader community.
