Cofradia Bilingual Center
The school is located in the lovely town of Cofradia, Cortes, near to the Carribean coast of Honduras. We aim to offer a top-quality, affordable bilingual education to our children and a level of community support and involvement that does not exist in the local public schools. Many of our kids come from very low socio-economic backgrounds and thanks to our volunteers we are able to offer them a free or low cost bilingual education they could not otherwise afford. Being bilingual in Honduras is a massive advantage and gives our kids the chance to end the cycle of poverty for themselves and for their families.
Our volunteers love working with the students at our school as well as the bond that is created between our teachers. At any one time we normally have between 4 and 6 volunteers teaching with us. Our volunteers typically spend the time after school together and often travel together at the weekends to the rivers in town.

About the experience in: San Pedro Sula, Honduras
United States
Ariel was the most amazing host. He made me feel like apart of his family and right at home. He is really one of the most caring people I've ever met. Being at the school every day was an experience I will never forget as well. I made so many strong relationships with the local teachers who are now people I can call friends. I also loved spending time with all the students and creating bonds with them as well. I'm so grateful for my time in Honduras and being able to be immersed in the culture, I'm already planning a trip back!

I absolutely loved my time in the cbc-school. From the very first moment on Ariel took care of me and tried to integrate me as much as possible.
The teaching was an amazing experience. Of course a bit chaotic at times but overall so fun. The kids are super nice and you get tasks depending on your ability and preferences. I had never taught English before, but I never felt uncomfortable. A great experience for my life.
Also the accommodation is good and you have your own space. And laaaast: Honduras is an amazing country. I loved the people! If you think about it, do it!!!

At school everyone was very kind to me and to Ariel and his family; I felt at home. They were very flexible and understood my needs, I am truly very grateful.
Thanks to Ariel and his family I discovered and fell in love with the Honduran mountains, and they gave me a very beautiful life experience.
If, like me, you enjoy rural life, tradition, nature and living in a very simple way, perhaps without European conveniences, Honduras is the place for you.
Many thanks to Ariel and his family.

My time at the school in CofradÃa was absolutely amazing. I was in charge of the kindergarten class, and I loved it! It wasn't just about teaching English; it became my beautiful daily routine. I even made a wonderful friendship with my Spanish co-teacher. It is truly one of my best memories.
Everyone, including Ariel, was super nice. The volunteer house is very big. Sometimes there was no water or electricity, but it was not a big deal at all. Honduras is a gorgeous country and the people are so amable.

I loved my experience at the school. I was responsible for a pre-K class in the mornings, a prep period or helping out with other tasks and classes as needed midday and then teaching a grade 4 class in the afternoon. I had a consistent schedule whereas some of the other volunteers did not and would help out wherever they were needed each day. Being flexible is key. I learned a lot about teaching and met so many wonderful staff and students. The apartment was great and Mr. Ariel, Mrs. Fanny and Mrs. Maibelys were all so wonderful to work with. I would absolutely recommend it!
