Tegucigalpa - School Report Question and Answers
Are there are any problems with exclusionary behavior, cliques, or bullying at this school? Please describe any problems your children may have experienced in this area.
In my opinion, the high school is quite exclusionary, but it's equally applied and the targets change weekly. I felt it mind-blowing to see some bullying that was tolerated and not stopped. I feel that it is a breeding ground for the upper class of Honduran society to practice discriminating against anyone who does not offer any real benefit to them. Fortunately, my daughter is an oak and has not been the brunt of much of the bullying. If she has been, she has borne it with a laugh and a shake of the head. - Mar 2023
Yes. There is definitely hostility between some local students and the international students. The students who can afford the private international schools in Honduras have parents who are well connected with government and the other groups that dominate the local population. These students take great pride in their place in society and tend to be very aware of the social class order that exists in Honduras. This problem was not limited to Discovery, we saw it at other schools also. - Mar 2023
While we heard rumors before arriving about bullying, we had ZERO experiences with this and have not heard of any bullying in the elementary grades since we've been at the school. - Jul 2019
