At Howard Academy
We opt for education instead of simple test preparation. Join us to discover how we can guide your child towards an exciting future full of enriching experiences.
Welcome to Howard Academy
Where we embrace the vision of the dreamers: “ Scientia Potentia est ”, knowledge is power. Here, the values that guide us are aligned with the transformative power of learning.
We strive to spark curiosity and desire for knowledge in our students from an early age. At Howard Academy, we not only encourage, but empower our children to look forward to opening a book and exploring the vast world of knowledge.
The Howard Academy Model 4 pillars
The Model starts from a simple conviction: a person’s success isn’t measured only by what they know, but by the combination of why they learn, how well they master it, who they are when they act, and who they build it with. Purpose, Mastery, Character, and Community aren’t four separate programs — they are the four dimensions that, together, shape a Howard Academy graduate.
At Howard Academy, we raise students who know why they learn. Knowledge alone isn’t enough: each student discovers a personal sense of purpose and learns to put it in service of something greater than themselves. Purpose is the compass that turns daily effort into a life direction.
Mastery is the academic standard we don’t compromise on: depth in STEAM, trilingual fluency in Spanish, English, and Mandarin, and the discipline of learning how to learn. It isn’t about memorizing for a test — it’s about reaching a level of competence a student can carry for the rest of their life.
Character is what a student does when no one is grading them. As members of the Character Counts! coalition, Howard Academy builds trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship — the six pillars that, together, shape people of integrity, not just good students.
Community means no one arrives alone or stays alone. From Howard Kids Academy through graduation, families, teachers, and students across Panamá Pacífico form a single community that knows each other by name, shows up for one another, and celebrates every achievement together, in and out of the classroom.
Acreditación Cognia
