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 12th grade 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.

Graduating from Balboa Academy offers students a unique advantage in the international educational landscape. With dual certification - a local Panamanian diploma alongside a prestigious U.S. diploma - our graduates are equipped not only with academic credentials recognized worldwide but also with a global perspective essential for success in today's interconnected world. Our exceptional Advanced Placement (AP) Program, boasting over 18 courses annually, distinguishes us as the sole institution in Panama offering such an extensive range of rigorous academic offerings.

Beyond traditional classroom learning, we prioritize personalized education, tailoring our approach to each student's strengths, passions, and challenges. Through individualized guidance and support from our dedicated educators, students are empowered to unlock their full potential and achieve academic excellence.

At Balboa Academy, we understand that each student is unique, and our nurturing, multicultural community of more than 40 nationalities inspires them to embrace their identities while fostering a deep sense of responsibility and compassion. Here, students learn not only academic subjects but also the importance of integrity, empathy, and respect, laying the foundation for them to become responsible global citizens who make a positive impact on the world.

This commitment is further underscored by our affiliation with Inspired Education Group, opening doors to a myriad of global opportunities including exchanges and summer camps.

In the end, Balboa Academy is more than just a school - it's a home away from home, a place where students can grow, learn, and thrive, surrounded by a supportive community that believes in their potential and celebrates their achievements. Welcome to Balboa Academy, where every student's story is part of our rich tapestry of excellence and tradition.
