Admission Requirements
Students must be evaluated and receive an invitation in order to be admitted to El Camino.
Students must have a previous English knowledge in order to enroll in preparatory and beyond. Our school requires a high English level, therefore previous enrollment in another bilingual school or a school in the United States does not ensure enrollment in our school. Oftentimes students coming from other Honduran bilingual school or US public schools will need to repeat a grade level in order to be prepared for the rigor of our private school.
Size is also a limitation especially in the younger grade levels which fill up quickly. Our class sizes are limited to 25 students in our early childhood program and 22 students in 1st grade and beyond.
We do not have a special education program nor the resources to support students requiring special education.
For more information on our school policies, read our parent manual here.
If you wish to enroll your child in El Camino, please contact the school to start the application process at +504 9430-2955.
If the school is enrolling new students and there is space in the requested grade level, the school will schedule an evaluation. This evaluation occurs at the school and cannot be given virtually.
The cost of this evaluation is L. 1500 for Pre-K to 1st grade and L. 2000 for 2nd-10th grade.
Per the results of the evaluation, the school will inform you of the grade level that student would be best suited for at El Camino. Even if a child has previously been in a bilingual/English-speaking school, this does not ensure they will place into the following grade level at El Camino.
To finalize enrollment, you will attend a registration meeting at the school to learn about our policies, sign forms, and set up payment.
During the first year, all new students will be on probation. You will be contacted if any issues arise. At the end of the first partial, the teacher and administration will determine if the new student can continue at El Camino at their grade level. Depending on their progress, they may need to move to a lower grade level to continue. If there are issues with maturity, behavior, or academic growth at any point during their first year, the school may decide that the student cannot continue at El Camino.
