UNTUCK

Pan American Academy Charter School is a small, tuition-free, K-8 charter school in North Philadelphia. Launched by the community-based organization Congreso de Latinos Unidos, the school’s unique approach balances the highest academic expectations with culturally responsive, supportive instruction. Pan American’s teachers are mostly bicultural and bilingual. Through small class size, intensive reading and mathematics instruction, and tutoring program, all Pan American students, the majority of which are Latino or African-American, get the support they need to meet and exceed their highest academic goals.

The blue ribbon in the logo reflects the award-winning education offered while the center star and stripes combine the American and Puerto Rican flags to stress the bicultural aspects of the school. The color palette is reflective of its partner organization, Congreso. Pan American Academy strives to be a beacon of hope and pride within its community and a model for other schools to follow.
