The Pan American International High School

The Pan American International High School is a diverse learning community of recently-immigrated English Language Learners (ELLs) in Queens, NYC. Our primary focus is on English language development, while providing opportunities to enrich Spanish language skills. Students will learn about Latin American themes and topics which are integrated into both classroom learning and community service projects. The Puentes Program, a partnership of our school with the Latin American Integration Center, cultivates the leadership of students in their social justice campaigns, youth organizing, service learning projects and internships. We are committed to creating an environment that values students’ cultures, native languages and individual differences, while preparing them for success as they navigate a changing world.
