High School education in Belize is costly and also not always available. Over 50% of youth in Belize are NOT able to attend school. Building the Belmopan Methodist High School has been a huge force in creating more openings for potential students. The Belmopan area is especially needy for high school opportunity which is a “newer” city and most schools have been built along the coastline where people originally settled when Belize was “British Honduras”.
