The Albert Einstein International School of San Pedro Sula (AEIS) is a college-preparatory international school located in San Pedro Sula, the second largest and industrial city of Honduras. It is a private coeducational day school, which offers an American education system to Honduran and foreign students in San Pedro Sula. The school offers a comprehensive college preparatory program from kindergarten through 12th grade. The school, previously named Albert Einstein School of San Pedro Sula or Escuela Bilingue Albert Einstein, was founded in 1990.

Contents

In 2005, the school administration decided to make a total change to the school. The change consisted in making the institution an international school for San Pedro Sula. This consisted of several aspects, including a change in school governance, a change in the curriculum to a program modeled on sound United States education practices, more education relations with U.S. entities, creation of U.S. educational programs and services in the school, creation of the American high school program, addition of North American and foreign staff to the school, etc.

In 2009, French language courses were included for all levels due to the school's compromise in offering a comprehensive college preparatory program similar to that of American overseas schools.

In 2010, Albert Einstein International School of San Pedro Sula made a uniform change allowing boys to wear a blue polo shirt, and girls to wear their original shirts with different skirts.

AEIS started as a bilingual school with seven students. Now, it is an international school with 350 students.

From second grade through eleventh grade, students take U.S. assessments such as the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test, in which the school checks its program and compares its students with those attending United States schools.

In the American high school program, students need to earn 24 Carnegie credits to get the high school diploma. Additionally, students have programs to be ready to attend U.S. colleges and universities.

Albert Einstein International School of San Pedro Sula is one of the official test centers of the American College Test or ACT test and PSAT for San Pedro Sula.
