We are a bilingual educational community located in the Puerto Aventuras complex. We provide loving support from early childhood through adolescence (ages 2 to 15).
Kindergarten – Elementary – Secondary
We dream of a school where every child feels happy, valued, and free to explore the world with curiosity, confidence, and joy. We want to be a space that inspires, supports, and transforms, where educational innovation goes hand in hand with play, empathy, and a love of life. We aspire to grow alongside our families, building a community committed to a more conscious, creative, and sustainable future.
We accompany children in their holistic growth, nurturing their minds, hearts, and bodies with an education that respects their childhood, awakens their curiosity, and strengthens their values. We create an environment where they feel safe, listened to, and free to play, explore, learn, and discover their own path, preparing them to live with awareness, empathy, and commitment in the world we share.
At PA Academy We believe that educating is accompanying with love, presence, and purpose. Our philosophy is born from a profound respect for children and is lived every day through:
• Meaningful learning: We connect what children learn with their daily lives, interests, and emotions.
– Curiosity and innovation: We nurture their natural desire to explore, imagine and create.
– Emotional education: We teach them to recognize, express, and care for their feelings, strengthening their self-esteem and bonds.
• Diversity and respect: We honor differences and build a community where all children are welcome.
• World consciousness: We invite our children to be an active part of a more just, supportive, and sustainable world.
Our educational proposal:
A living, current and personalized methodology.
At PA Academy, We know that every child is unique and that the world has changed. That's why we've developed our own methodology, with a 100% constructivist approach, which puts children at the center of their learning process.
Our hallmark is a personalized education that respects each child's rhythms, interests, emotions, and strengths. To achieve this, we integrate the best of three major pedagogical methodologies—Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Waldorf—and adapt them to the real needs of today's families.
We don't follow a rigid model: we evolve with children and our community, moving away from traditional adult-centered education to create a more vibrant, humane, and meaningful learning experience.
Below, we've provided a comparison table between our educational offering and the traditional model. You'll see what we believe in, how we work, and what sets PA Academy apart.
Pilares PA Academy
What moves us, what we believe, what we build every day.
At PA Academy, educating means supporting each child on their journey, respecting their pace, their essence, and their unique way of learning. We believe in an education that sparks curiosity, that gives space to emotions, that inspires them to create, move, think, and interact with the world.
That's why we've created five pillars that support and give meaning to everything we do. They're not just thematic axes: they're deep convictions that help us develop conscious, sensitive, creative human beings prepared for a future they too will build.
Every day at PA Academy is an opportunity to cultivate curiosity, empathy, and creativity. These pillars are present in every corner of our school, guiding our decisions and actions, because we believe in a meaningful childhood lived in community, where every child can grow authentically.
What our PA Academy community says:
The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make every child and family feel special. They create a strong sense of community through beautiful celebrations and thoughtful events that bring everyone together. It's incredible to see the care and heart they put into making every moment memorable for the children.
We feel very fortunate to be part of the PA Academy community. From the moment we joined, it was clear how much the school values strong family involvement. Parents are truly welcome and encouraged to participate, creating a warm and connected atmosphere.
One of the things we love most is the bilingual academic program: my children are learning and growing confidently in both Spanish and English. Beyond the classroom, the children enjoy a wide variety of enriching activities such as art projects, LEGO challenges, and even parkour classes! The school also has a beautiful outdoor playground where children can be active and enjoy time outdoors.
PA Academy is a truly special place, and we are so grateful to be a part of it!
Our family feels incredibly grateful to be part of the PA Academy community. Our children absolutely adore their teachers; every day they are greeted with kindness, creativity, and a true love of learning. Beyond the strong academic foundation, they have the opportunity to explore so many enriching activities like robotics, singing, parkour, and art. The Singapore Math curriculum and project-based learning approach are rigorous and engaging, encouraging critical thinking and real-world application. But what we value most is the school's deep commitment to preserving the magic of childhood. PA Academy is a place where children are not only challenged and inspired, but also deeply seen, supported, and allowed to be children. It's everything we hoped for in a school and more.
My son has been at PA Academy since the beginning of the project and as a family we couldn't be happier with this decision.
For many, taking your child out of the "system" can be difficult; for us, it was the best thing we could do. Finding a school that focuses on the well-being of children without neglecting academic quality and discipline isn't easy, and at PA Academy, they've found the right balance between their emotions and cognitive abilities.
Every day he has something new to tell me and every year he looks forward to camp.
Thank you, Pame, and your entire team for fully understanding that education goes beyond books.
My children enjoyed kindergarten through third grade at PA Academy. They participated in a variety of activities such as chess, dance, yoga, and music. The creative project-based curriculum encourages teamwork, leadership, and ingenuity, making learning fun and engaging. The staff works cohesively, creating a harmonious environment where my children were happy to attend school. PA Academy emphasizes the development of both hard and soft skills, making it a valuable addition to our community and family values.
PA Academy is a very friendly, family-oriented school with an individual approach to every child from any country. You won't find bullying or any kind of harassment here! In addition to a very solid bilingual academic curriculum, it's a safe and happy place where love and respect are the main aspects to be instilled in every little human being. Our three children are happy to go to school every morning, which says it all!
PA Academy is the school every child would want to be at.
As a family, we feel deeply fortunate to have had the opportunity for our daughter to be part of this community for four years. Without a doubt, it was one of the best decisions we could have made.
The way children learn at PA Academy is truly admirable: they integrate knowledge with practice, encourage teamwork, and promote healthy coexistence in such a natural way that attending classes becomes a true pleasure for the children.
The teachers are friendly, empathetic, and always accessible, with a highly personalized approach that truly makes a difference. And most valuable of all: the community they've built is warm, loving, and supportive.
PA Academy is not just a school, it's a place where children grow up happy, safe, and motivated.
After three wonderful years at this little gem in Puerto Aventuras, we can say it's been a fantastic trip for our son. From the very beginning, Pam and her team created a warm, family-like atmosphere.
We are grateful for the care, encouragement, and creativity he experienced here. He grew not only academically, but also became a curious and confident child who now corrects our Spanish.
The end-of-year shows were always a highlight for us parents, as were family sporting events and bike rides.
Parkour training with Choco was her favorite. Thanks to him, she can now climb palm trees to grab coconuts with ease.
Sadly, it's time for us to return to Europe, but we will carry this school and this experience in our hearts.
Thank you, PA Academy Family! You've given our son something truly special!
PA Academy
Back in Los Angeles, my daughter attended a private school in the mountains. Of all the schools in Puerto Rico, I find PA Academy to be the true private school experience. I love how engaged the kids are, always doing fun activities. The atmosphere is very special, like a big family. I love how they learn in Spanish and English. We love this school very much and are so grateful for the community.
Five years ago, in the midst of the pandemic, families seeking a humanities and arts education created PA Academy. I was approached to teach art, which moved me deeply, as it demonstrates the priority of connection and emotional well-being.
Since then, together with Pam and Abi, we have built a comprehensive arts program, with the freedom to focus on developing well-rounded human beings. Through art, children develop self-awareness, expression, and critical thinking, essential for life.
At PA Academy, children experience a real childhood: they explore, play, and participate in hands-on projects, fostering their curiosity and wonder. We build genuine bonds with each student, understanding their individuality and building confidence.
As a teacher, I have also experienced that care and respect. My creative methods were valued and understood, allowing me to give my best. When a school cares for its teachers, that well-being is transmitted to the children, creating an environment where everything flourishes.
I am deeply grateful to be part of this project, for the trust placed in me, and for the opportunity to sow from the heart.
