The Christian culture at CCA extends beyond the four walls of the classroom. Our community is one that fosters respect, kindness, love, and spiritual growth.

We are an English-speaking international school within a Spanish-speaking community in Panama. We see the value of using English as our main language for academic instruction, preparing students to develop communication skills and meet the demands of a more globalized modern society.

In addition, we provide students with a robust curriculum that meets the high standards of accreditation organizations while giving them the right balance of challenge and support.

Our vibrant school community makes it possible for students to explore several paths to develop their God-given talents. Your child will have exciting opportunities to grow with like-minded peers in different fields, such as the arts, athletics, service, or leadership.

In addition, small class sizes allow students to enjoy enrichments with intentional mentorship from teachers, whether in foreign language, music, or physical education classes.

"CCA has been our children’s home away from home and we are thankful at how our girls have found their place here in Panama through their warm, welcoming community. It has been a relief to discover strong ties of faith, family, and community service in the CCA educational environment. It has also been a tremendous help to us as missionaries from the Philippines to be part of the financial assistance program that CCA offers."

-Erico and Catrina Ricafort, CCA Parents

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Find answers to some common tuition and financial aid questions

CCA offers limited financial assistance to families who demonstrate need. CCA recognizes that each family is unique; thus a careful assessment by a third-party provider will be used in determining the amount of reduced tuition awarded. Additional factors considered may include number of years associated with CCA, parental and student involvement in school activities, student's academic performance and character, and consideration of the greater community.

Our financial assistance is run by a third-party platform called FAST which collects, validates, and provides specific recommendations for reduced tuition. The family is responsible for paying the application fee of $48 directly to FAST.
 

While CCA cannot guarantee financial assistance, all families are encouraged to apply and go through the process to see whether aid can be granted. Applications are due no later than Feb. 28 of each year in order to be considered for the upcoming school year, which begins in August. Applications received after the filing deadline will be considered as resources become available.

We will attempt to support the student’s enrollment at CCA so long as the family demonstrates a need for financial support and the student maintains a GPA of 2.5 or above. CCA desires to help as many families as possible; therefore, the amount of assistance offered will be for one year at a time. Hence, a family will need to re-apply for assistance each year to demonstrate their continuing need. 

Yes, our tuition assistance program is available from K3-Grade 12.

No. Admission at CCA is determined by separate factors, and applying for tuition assistance will not diminish the chances of being accepted in our school.

The donation or entrance fee at CCA is charged per student.
