Mazapan School is an independent, coeducational school, with a student body of less than 300 students from Grades 1 to 12. We are dedicated to providing an American style education of the highest quality in an international setting. We follow an American college-preparatory curriculum, and our educational philosophy is characterized in part by small groups and close student-teacher relationships.
The school takes advantage of its unique location in the heart of La Ceiba, and students regularly travel out of the classroom to experience the beauty of our city, its surroundings and beyond. Our student body composed of young people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds adds to a global perspective that is promoted in the classroom and in a host of extracurricular activities.
The oldest of all American schools in Honduras, Mazapan School is divided into three main areas: Elementary School (grades 1 to 6), Middle School (grades 7 and 8) and High School (grades 9 to 12) to ensure developmental and age-appropriate settings for our students. Over the years, we have developed a school culture that strongly emphasizes the intellectual and moral growth of our students.
Our faculty members are closely involved with our students, not only in the classroom, but also as coaches, advisors, mentors and friends. They foster an atmosphere that encourages our students to engage in intellectual activity and independent thinking.
Mazapan School is committed to an active partnership between school and family, and to provide an environment of openness, responsiveness and communication, where the child’s well-being is considered above all.
