The United School of Panama (USP) was founded to ensure academic continuity for students progressing from our early childhood education centers. Inspired by the positive feedback regarding the academic and developmental achievements of our pre-school graduates, we envisioned a school that would embody our teaching philosophy and core values. The goal is to offer a world-class education within a modern facility that encourages both academic learning and physical activity, conveniently located just minutes from Panama City. Since opening our doors in August 2021, offering classes from PK4 to 4th grade, USP has grown by adding one grade each year to reach a complete PK4-12th grade education by 2029. Our founding team includes professionals with international expertise in education, business, and project management, committed to shaping the future of education in Panama.
The motto Sapere Aude (Latin for Dare to know) reflects our belief in the power of knowledge and intellectual curiosity. Our mascot, Alpha the Grizzly, embodies the core values of strength, courage, and teamwork that we uphold at USP. United we are. United we come. United we stand.
