If you have a real BURNING DESIRE TO LEARN this is the place for you
We are in the process of
completely rebuilding the CBS site. We hope the rebuild will
make it easier
for you to find the information you desire. In the meantime,
unfortunately, it may be a little more difficult and also might not
work properly on all browsers (CBS uses and
recommends "Firefox").

Welcome
to Cofradia's Bilingual School - CBS!
We are a nonprofit bilingual school and have been serving the
community of Cofradia since 1997. Cofradia (or "brotherhood")
is
both a small town and a reasonably large general
area just west
of San Pedro Sula in Honduras. CBS actively seeks disadvantaged
children in the area and provides them with a quality bilingual
education, hence a much brighter future. This year we have
almost 300 students enrolled and over 1/3 of them are receiving
scholarship assistance.
Our "Volunteer"
teachers, recruited from all over the world, get a chance to
live the
adventure of a real immersion experience in Central American life and
culture while providing a quality Global Education to the students at
the school and a culturally broadening experience to the rest of the
local community. The international make-up of the team means we always
maintain a real multi-cultural perspective in everything we do.
| Cofradia's Bilingual School
strives to open borders and
minds:
We introduce our children to global possibilities through the presence
of foreign teachers. Cofradia's Bilingual School strives to give the gift of language: We are creating a bilingual curriculum that incorporates Honduran educational requirements with innovative approaches to educating children. Cofradia's Bilingual School strives to instill a love of learning: In a country where education is not required beyond sixth grade, we are committed to instilling a lasting appreciation of education's importance and enjoyment of the process. |

Our mission is to give
students a good command of the English language as well as a better
foundation in academic subjects than is available in the Honduran
public school system. For many this can be a real path out of poverty.
Good English skills guarantee anyone in Honduras much better paying
jobs. In addition a solid academic education, the practical
life skills covered in some of our vocational workshops and
agricultural programs will open many more doors for these young people
as they continue with their life after school.
It is our vision to educate the most disadvantaged students along with those who have more money and would traditionally have very little interaction with the needy in their community. We strive to teach tolerance, understanding and true community spirit. We believe this to be the best possible way to promote real community development and thereby help all young Hondurans determine their own future together.
