Governed by a committed Board of Trustees, Pan American Academy provides high-quality education to over 700 students in eastern North Philadelphia. Pan American Academy is the only International Baccalaureate (IB) Elementary School in Philadelphia, and one of only three in Pennsylvania.

Pan American Academy Charter School prepares students for a successful future by promoting academic excellence through rigorous instruction, bilingualism, the integration of cultural awareness and respect throughout all aspects of the curriculum.

Pan American Academy Charter School strives to create a student-centered environment where critical thinking, hands-on learning, self reflection, strong parental involvement and global understanding guide our learning so that we can take care of our planet and contribute to a peaceful world.

Pan American Academy Charter School empowers each student to reach their academic and social potential by developing into inquiring, bilingual, intercultural citizens of the global community.

These goals will be reached through instituting expectations of excellence in our students, requiring consistent parental involvement, providing rigorous instruction and developing international-minded leaders.
