PEP+ began in 2010 as a program to teach English, but quickly evolved to include much more!

PEP+ has a professionally developed, project-based curriculum that focuses on literacy in Spanish, conversational English, and computer proficiency, while also incorporating art, science, teamwork and social skills.
The computer component helps children develop basic skills; using the mouse, keyboard, and word processing. The Spanish literacy component gives students an opportunity to practice reading and writing concepts that are taught in school. We focus on interactive project-based learning, and we use art to enhance literacy comprehension in both English and Spanish.

PEP+ operates in tandem with the public schools.

The children who attend our free PEP+ classes are in grades 1-6. Children attend their public elementary school as a half-day session in the morning or afternoon. Their PEP+ class operates opposite their public school schedule so that students can easily attend both. PEP+ is currently offered as a morning session and afternoon sessions three days a week at three locations around the community for a total of 6 groups of students.

Children work in small groups and get lots of attention!

The combined education-team of international volunteers and Honduran interns work together to prepare a well-planned and smoothly flowing program. The curiosity-based, interactive curriculum encourages creativity in how you and your 'compañeros' (coworkers) choose to work with your students. Using songs, art, movement, games and other fun activities, is one of the easiest ways for children to learn new skills and reinforce academics. Return to PROJECTS
