About Day-Star School

Day-Star School is a private K-12 bilingual school located in Juticalpa, in the eastern part of Honduras. The school was founded in 1988. It is owned and operated by Mark and Betty Skallman, North Americans, who have lived and worked in Honduras since 1980. 

The school is nationally accredited with the Honduran Ministry of Education and internationally accredited by Cognia.  All classes, except for Spanish grammar, civics, and some social studies, are taught in English. The teaching staff includes both International and Honduran teachers. The student body is Honduran, whose parents live and work in the community.

VISION

Day-Star School believes that childhood is the key to success for the future of our society. We aim to train students with personal academic excellence, cultivating in them optimism, spiritual security, and an appreciation for different cultures; guiding them to their duties and responsibilities with themselves, their families, community, nation, and humanity.

MISSION

We, at Day-Star School firmly believe that young people are the key to society's future. Based on this idea, we believe our purpose is to develop within our students academic excellence, spiritual assurance, dedication to helping others, and an appreciation for other cultures. We, therefore, propose to guide them towards a sense of duty and responsibility to themselves, their family, their community, their nation, and all humanity.

Day-Star School offers an education that will motivate these young people to become excellent scholars and compassionate human beings, eager to become an example for the entire human race.
