The Panamanian Association of Internationally-minded Schools -- better known as PAIS -- is a grass-roots organization founded by the directors of a group of schools in Panama with a common educational philosophy and vision. The current member schools are Balboa Academy, Boston School International Panama, Crossroads Christian Academy, International School of Panama, King's College School Panama, Lycée Français International de Panama, Magen David Academy, and the Metropolitan School of Panama. The directors of the founding member schools serve on the PAIS Board of Trustees and are committed to contributing to the wider educational community through their expertise and support.
Our Mission
Our mission is Improving Education Through a Trusting Network. One of the greatest ways to do this is through collaboration and professional development. We do this by hosting a number of events such as our annual Leadership Breakfast, Educators' Conference, sports tournaments, and through student academic collaboration. Lastly, we created job-alike cohorts among member schools to share best practices and provide training on a variety of topics.
