Balboa Academy is een priv\u00e9school in Panama-Stad, gelegen in het hart van de bruisende gemeenschap van de hoofdstad. Onze International School in Ciudad del Saber, Clayton, biedt studenten twee diplomaprogramma's (Amerikaans en Panamees) en is de enige school in Panama die meer dan 20 vakken in het AP-programma aanbiedt. Het is een baken van educatieve excellentie en een thuis voor levenslang lerenden. Onze reis begon in 1999 met de visie om een rijke en meeslepende onderwijservaring te bieden, ge\u00efnspireerd door de beste Amerikaanse scholen, met een curriculum gebaseerd op Amerikaanse normen en Engels als instructietaal. Maar Balboa Academy is meer dan alleen een school; het is een dynamische en stimulerende leeromgeving waar studenten, docenten, personeel, ouders en alle leden van onze gemeenschap samenkomen als \u00e9\u00e9n familie.<\/p>\n
Een internationale opleiding aan de Balboa Academy opent niet alleen de deur naar toonaangevende universiteiten over de hele wereld, maar geeft studenten ook het mondiale perspectief en de vaardigheden die ze nodig hebben om te gedijen in de huidige, onderling verbonden wereld.<\/p>\n
Hier gaan studenten op een ontdekkings- en groeireis, aan de hand van een breed en sequentieel studieplan dat niet alleen de nadruk legt op academische prestaties, maar ook op de ontwikkeling van studenten \u2013 zodat ze productieve en gelukkige burgers van onze wereldgemeenschap kunnen worden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
