Outstanding International School with Panama's Best AP Program
Balboa Academy is a private school in Panama City, located in the heart of the capital's vibrant community. Offering students two diploma programs (US and Panamanian) and the only school in Panama to provide over 20 courses in their AP Program, our International School in Ciudad del Saber, Clayton is a beacon of educational excellence and a home for lifelong learners.
Our journey began in 1999 with a vision to provide a rich and immersive educational experience inspired by the best American schools, with a U.S. standards-based curriculum and English as the language of instruction. But Balboa Academy is more than just a school - it is a dynamic and nurturing learning environment where students, educators, staff, parents and all members of our community come together as one family.
An international education at Balboa Academy not only opens doors to top-tier universities worldwide, but also equips students with the global perspective and skills needed to thrive in today's interconnected world.
Here, students embark on a journey of discovery and growth, guided by a broad and sequential plan of study that emphasizes not only academic achievement, but also the development of students - so that they can become productive and happy citizens of our global community.
