About

Pan American International High School is a diverse learning community of recently immigrated English Language Learners (ELLs). Our primary focus is English language development, while providing opportunities for students to enhance their Spanish language skills. Our partnerships with organizations such as The International Network, Coalition for Hispanic Family, an other Higher Education entities cultivate the leadership of students in their communities through service, learning projects, internships, and the arts. We are committed to creating an environment that celebrates students' individual identities while preparing them to be successful in college and become productive members of the global community. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.
