A bilingual school where children learn by doing
Roatan’s bilingual, play-based learning centre, where children from the early years through primary school grow through exploration, creativity and meaningful relationships. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and rooted in our island community.
HOW LEARNING WORKS HERE
A Roatan school built around how children actually learn
A question about insects can become a study of habitats, measurement, drawing, research, writing and environmental responsibility. A plan to build something can require mathematics, negotiation, testing and revision.
Teachers design for these connections. They document what children notice, introduce new tools and ideas, and make sure each project develops the skills children need for their next stage. Play is not a break from learning here—it is one of the ways serious learning begins.
2026 – 2027 PROGRAMS
Education that feels like play
Core school programs provide continuity from the early years into primary. After-school and seasonal camps extend the same thoughtful approach beyond the regular school day.
Early Years · Ages 1-3
Warm relationships, sensory exploration and predictable rhythms give young children the security to move, communicate and discover.
Preschool · Ages 3-6
Children develop language, early literacy, number sense, independence and friendship through investigations that matter to them.
Primary · Ages 6-12
Our growing primary program core academics connect with research, design, technology and community projects as our primary grades continue to expand.
After-School Care
A dependable end-of-day option with time to decompress, connect, create and continue learning in a familiar environment.
Summer Camp
Active, project-rich days that keep children making, exploring and building friendships during the summer break.
INTERNATIONAL STUDY · LOCAL PRACTICE
Reggio Emilia is more than a label
Our educators have studied learning environments and teaching practice in Reggio Emilia, Italy; at Agora in the Netherlands; and at Bellelli in Costa Rica. Those experiences inform how we plan spaces, document learning and work alongside children in Roatán.
ROOTED HERE. ALWAYS EVOLVING.
A decade of growing with Roatan families
Play Based Projects began as a small educational project and has grown alongside the families it serves. Our programs now support children from the early years through primary school, with after-school care and seasonal experiences that extend learning beyond the school day.
The school continues to evolve, but the heart of the work remains the same: listen to children, build strong relationships and create the conditions for meaningful learning

HONDURAS STEM FOUNDATION PROJECT
Children can do remarkable work when it belongs to them
Our FIRST Lego League championship is one example: students combined design, coding, teamwork, presentation and persistence around a shared challenge. The trophy matters. The confidence and problem-solving behind it matter more.
