Ometepe Bilingual School

Welcome

Ometepe Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to community development on Ometepe Island. We are looking for volunteers to teach English to local grade school and high school kids. In the summer of 2007 we started a small, free, English language school in the rural community of Merida, located on the south-western side of the Island beneath the majestic Volcan Maderas.

Investing in our Future

The school is run entirely on volunteering through the Ometepe Foundation and "working" tourists, there are no overhead costs of the program. We provide healthy oatmeal and granola porridge for all of the kids after each of the day classes. Methods of teaching include bilingual card games, movies, text and grammar book activities, singing, dancing, sailing, kayaking and fieldtrips!
