Igniting Futures, Shaping Global Citizens
In the heart of Panama, Balboa Academy stands as a beacon of excellence in education since its founding in 1999. Born from the visionary minds of educators with deep roots in the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS), Balboa Academy has flourished into a prestigious, private day college-prep school that welcomes students from PK-3 through to 12th grade and into a world where academic excellence meets global citizenship.
With English as the cornerstone of our US standards-based curriculum, we open doors to global opportunities for our students, nurturing them to become articulate, thoughtful leaders prepared to make their mark on the world. Accredited by the world's largest accrediting agency Cognia, Balboa Academy exceeds the highest benchmarks of educational quality. This prestigious accreditation guarantees our students' access to top colleges and universities worldwide, affirming our commitment to providing an education that truly knows no boundaries.
At Balboa Academy, we believe in the power of community and continuous improvement. Our entire community—students, educators, and families—are actively engaged in a school improvement process that reflects our dedication to excellence and adherence to the highest standards set forth by Cognia and the Panamanian Ministry of Education (MEDUCA). As a MEDUCA-recognized institution, we not only comply with but thrive under the legal and policy frameworks designed for private, independent schools in Panama.
Join us at Balboa Academy, where we are not just educating the next generation of leaders; we are inspiring them to build a brighter, more connected world.
