Where every student has a place

Middle Years Programme School Clubs

Our secondary school is comprised of students in middle school (grade 6 - grade 8) and high school (grade 9 - grade 12). In secondary school, students do not only continue to make meaningful connections between their studies and the real world. Projects and assignments focus on cultivating in students responsible attitudes that will become responsible actions. Students are encouraged, in every discipline, to critically approach real-world problems and try their hand at well-thought-out solutions.

In addition to traditional disciplines (math, arts, social studies, language arts, physical education, etc.) students are able to explore their interests and pursue new possibilities through a variety of clubs, electives, and after-school activities! In Secondary School at Pan American, there is something for everyone!
