BIIS provides high-quality education in Roatan, Honduras, educating and empowering children to break the cycle of poverty

The Bay Islands International School (BIIS) was established as a not-for-profit in 2017 to provide a high-quality alternative to the public schools on the island of Roatan, Honduras, in order to educate and empower children and break the cycle of poverty. BIIS offers pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade and is certified by the Honduran Ministry of Education.

BIIS's mission is to develop and maintain an environment where children are empowered and enabled to discover better ways of thinking and decision-making. We put the student at the center of our program, incorporating character development and critical thinking skills into the delivery of academics, and in all ways approaching the execution of their mission with loving kindness, bringing out the best in each child at all times.

Education

We are embarking on the construction of a new building for our school to address the pressing need for expanded facilities. The escalating demand for our education program has outpaced the capacity of our current facilities, necessitating the construction of a new school building. With enrollment numbers steadily climbing, overcrowding has become a critical issue, making it imperative to expand our infrastructure to accommodate the growing needs of our students. This ambitious project aims to alleviate overcrowding while providing an enhanced learning environment conducive to fostering academic excellence and personal growth.

1. **Permits:** The necessary permits need to be obtained and fees paid to start construction.
2. **Septic System:** A septic system needs to be installed to provide for the proper handling of waste for a population of up to 300 students.
3. **Security Fence:** A fence consisting of a 4-foot tall concrete block foundation is needed for security reasons. 
4. **Water Well:** A water well needs to be dug to a depth of around 100 feet to provide for the needs of our students and staff.
5. **Electricity Connection:** A utility pole will have to be installed to provide electricity to the new building. 
6. **Landscaping:** Landscaping and entry/exit road construction to provide adequate vehicle access and parking for student/staff, and visitor parking.
7. **School Building:** The first building to be constructed on the property will be required to accommodate administrative offices, the Preschool, and the Elementary school. Also a library, a music room, and an art room.
