Escuela Panamericana was founded in 1977 as a private co-educational

The school is located within a five-acre pine forest on a mountain
slope on the outskirts and overlooking the capital city, San Salvador.
The school has two basket ball/volleyball courts, a soccer-running
field and three large playground areas. Facilities include a large
library, computer center, science laboratory, cafeteria and thirty-two
classrooms .
The school is accredited by the Salvadorian Ministry of Education
and in the United States by the Southern Association of Colleges

The curriculum includes English and Spanish language development,
mathematics and science with an emphasis on rational thinking skills
