Character Build-up Core value formation
At a time when students begin to grapple with issues of adolescence we focus on helping students make sense of their sometimes confusing place in the world by strengthening their character.
At La Estancia School physical education is not just to get kids to burn some energy. It’s about preparing them for success, both in their health and their academic performance. MORE
Middle school students benefit from a lifetime of music immersed community. From fifth grade on they may opt to be part of the school’s band or take music class that involves being part of the guitar ensemble. MORE
One of the perks of middle and high school is belonging to the student government STUCO. Every year in August students that qualify (grades and conducts) are able to postulate to the charges. MORE

PHYSICAL EDUCATION & SPORTS
Health is an integral component of a balanced physical educational program. Every year students are discreetly weighed in order to get their BMI (Body Mass Index). They also take the test of Navette or test of Leger 20 meters used to study the cardiorespiratory component, this test is adapted for each grade level and for female and male students.
The focus is on engaging students to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, also this information is key for individuals to see how far they’ve come. Some students are more prone to sports and L.E.S. has a solid after school program that includes volleyball, soccer and basketball.
MUSIC EDUCATION
The music program offers experiences that encourages students to become engaged with their school environment, develop a positive attitude, and make healthy choices. Our music program addresses multiple learning styles, meets individual needs, and engages students in meaningful activities.
Middle school students develop a sense of self-esteem, belonging, and purpose because they belong to something bigger than themselves, something La Estancia School is very proud of. The structure of music and the significance of the community in its performance can provide students with a sense of individual importance in relation to the ensemble as a whole.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
STUCO may be considered the Federal Government that provides for the good of all their citizens, (student body) considering the needs of the minorities and the wishes of the majority. The Grades (7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th grade) would be considered states in the Federal System and they take care of their people only, but contribute constantly to the Federal System.
Interact La Estancia School Tegucigalpa Sur, Emineo Honor Society, the music program benefit concerts to FUNDANIQUEM por la vida del niño quemado, and Doña Patty’s annual Toy Collection may be considered as “Special Interest Groups” that provide solely for a limited population yet as a charity.
