American School International
Description
American School International (ASI) is a Pre-K through 12th grade school in Costa Verde, west of Panama City, that opened in 2023 and has already grown to more than 900 students from multiple countries. Classes are taught mainly in English, with Spanish instruction also offered.
STEAM Focus: The curriculum centers on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics alongside humanities and social sciences.
Small Class Sizes: An average student-teacher ratio of 11:1 lets faculty work closely with students.
University Ties: The school has connections to universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Northwestern, UCLA, and USC for career guidance.
Strong Retention: ASI reports a 97% student retention rate since opening.
For families in Costa Verde and the surrounding west Panama area, ASI offers a newer campus built around small classes and a STEAM-based curriculum. It’s worth checking out for expat and local families who want a school still growing into its facilities and programs.
