Brian's School in Honduras

A school in Honduras, built from a teacher's heart.

Brian Carlson founded iSchool504 — a school being built for children and families in Santa Ana, Honduras. Brian has taught in Honduras himself, and he started iSchool504 for one simple reason: he believes a good education changes a child's life — and a whole family's future along with it.

Brian's Story

Why Honduras? Why a school?

Teaching is the work of Brian's life — in K–5 classrooms, alongside school leaders through Cultivate K-12, and in Honduras, where he has taught children in person. Working with kids and families there showed him something he couldn't unsee: children who are eager to learn, parents who want more for them, and not nearly enough schools to go around.

So instead of just visiting, Brian started building. iSchool504 is his answer — a real school for a real community, started by a teacher with a heart for education and for changing people's lives, one child and one family at a time. It's the same heart behind Cultivate K-12: learning should be personal, encouraging, and within reach of every family.

"A good education changes a child's life — and a whole family's future along with it."

What iSchool504 Is Doing

Growing, step by step, in Santa Ana.

iSchool504 is already underway — and all of it is growing toward one goal: opening its own school in Santa Ana in February 2028.

Saturday Learning Days

Children and families in Santa Ana already gather for Saturday learning events — lessons, games, food, and time together — led by local teachers and friends of the school.

  • Lessons, games, and time together
  • Shared food and community
  • Led by local teachers

English Classes That Connect

Volunteer teachers meet Honduran students online for English classes — real conversation, real encouragement, and a skill that opens doors for a child's whole future.

  • Real conversation, online
  • Encouragement from volunteer teachers
  • A skill that opens doors

A School of Their Own

All of it is growing toward the goal: a low-cost school in Santa Ana, opening in February 2028, where local teachers lead, families are partners, and every child is known by name.

  • Opening February 2028
  • Local teachers lead
  • Families as partners
The Name Says It

Innovative · Holistic · Growth

Innovative

New tools — including technology and AI, used wisely — put to work for children who deserve every advantage.

Holistic

The whole child and the whole family: learning, health, character, and community, cared for together.

Growth

For every student, every family, and the whole community — growth you can see, year after year.

The Same Heart

One teacher, one calling.

Cultivate K-12 and iSchool504 are two sides of the same calling. One partners with school leaders across the United States and Latin America to strengthen culture and keep great teachers. The other is building a school for children in Honduras. Different families, different countries — the same belief underneath both: a caring teacher and a good education can change the direction of a child's life.

The first step is a focused conversation — not a pitch.

Brian Carlson's strategy calls are built around listening. He wants to understand your school's pressure points before recommending anything. No commitment required to start the conversation.
