IBSC is one of just 14 schools in the country where students must complete 12th grade to graduate. Currently about 210 students are enrolled and the student population continues to grow each year. Instituto Bilingüe Santa Clara was born when the first students of the primary school graduated from 6th grade. A US-modeled course curriculum, bilingual instructors, and foreign volunteers prepare children for secondary school and beyond. Since its inception, the school experienced rapid growth and now provides bilingual education to more than 435 students. Integrated into basic academic instruction are themes and programs that guide students to fulfill their potential as unique human beings and contributors to humanity. Faith-based curriculum provides them with the moral framework that will enable them to face challenges in their lives and in their communities. The school serves children in preschool through sixth grade and the curriculum is centered on the belief that students should be challenged academically and should develop intellectual skills that are both creative and progressive. Strong school leadership works to embrace high academic standards for our students and to augment quality instruction as the school continues to grow. Centro Escolar Bilingüe Santa Clara aims to be the leading primary bilingual education institution in Olancho.
