La Ceiba Bilingual School (or CBS) is a bilingual (English/Spanish) school located in La Ceiba, Honduras. Like many bilingual schools in Honduras it follows the US school-year (fall to spring). It is the second oldest bilingual school in the city (Mazapan School being the first). It is located in the El Sauce neighborhood.
As opposed to bilingual schools in the city that follow the United States school system, CBS teachers follow a traditional Honduran school system, with grades 1 - 11. The pre-school education starts with daycare or nursery.
Since the beginning it has been a family run institution. Sandra Payne, the school's founder, was the first principal. Suyapa de Hyde, Ms. Payne's daughter and a CBS alumna, is the current principal.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
