My Little Red House Bilingual School is a private, independent bilingual (English/Spanish) co-educational day school located in Nueva Ocotepeque, Honduras. It provides students with a bilingual education at a cost local families can afford. Spanish classes are taught by local teachers from Ocotepeque, while English classes are taught by volunteer teachers. The school's English volunteers come from all over the world and provide students with instruction in reading, writing, phonics, spelling, art, and music. The school was founded in 1998.
There are approximately 80 students enrolled at the school. Many students would not be able to pay the high price of attending a typical private bilingual school, so tuition at My Little Red House is low cost and many students have scholarships that enable them to attend.

Famous quotes containing the words red, house and/or school:
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
