At El Camino Bilingual School we testify to the good news of Jesus Christ, not only with our words but with our lives, offering the best testimony possible through a rigorous bilingual and Christian education to the Honduran people. It is our goal that as students receive their education at El Camino, we echo what is said in Proverbs 4:11, “I have taught you in the way of wisdom, I have led you in right paths.”
About El Camino
Christ-centered
El Camino’s education is based on the absolute truths of the Bible. At El Camino we endeavour to develop the entire humanity of the child intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and physically from a Christian worldview. We do this by teaching what is good, true and beautiful based on a Biblical perspective (Phillipians 4:8). Everything from language lessons to science classes are taught with a focus of God at work in our lives and the world around us.
University-prep
In addition to our spiritual goals, El Camino offers students an excellent academic education through a bilingual model. Classes include subjects taught using intentionally planned lessons with a focus on creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking from a Christian worldview. Through a strong Christian worldview and rigorous academics, our goal is that our students become leaders in the country of Honduras in whatever field God calls them.
Bilingual model
In order for students to be leaders in the country of Honduras, mastery of both English and Spanish is key. Our preschool/kindergarten program is taught bilingually with increasing English exposure each year. In elementary school and beyond we heighten English usage to ensure mastery of their second langauge alongside implementiation of bilingual practices and Spanish-support. Certainclasses are taught solely in Spanish to also ensure effective communication in their native tongue.

School History
2003-2011
Tutoring program
El Camino began as a middle school tutoring and enrichment program offering classes in History, Science, Bible and English. Many of these students came to know Jesus through this program and some now serve in roles at El Camino and Hospital Loma de Luz.
2012
Kindergarten class
In 2012 the school changed to include all subjects and pursue licensure as a Honduran Bilingual School. It began with the first kindergarten class of 17 five-year-olds and each year added a grade each year.
2015
Preschool program
This also explanded to a full preschool program, offering classes teaching basic English to meet the essential need of early exposure in langauge acquisition.
2020
Middle school program
As our students continued to grow, a seperate middle school program was created with an emphasis on increasing rigor and daily discipleship.
2022
High school program
When our original kindergarten class graduated from the mandatory level of 9th grade, this created the need for a 10th/11th grade high school program for those pursuing an university degree.

High school graduation
After studying at El Camino for 12 years, our very first students graduated from 11th grade and after scoring exceptionally well on their university-placement tests began university.
