Pan American School Of Bahia PASB

Founded in 1960, the Pan American School of Bahia (PASB) is cooperatively owned by parents and operates as a non-profit, non-denominational, college-preparatory institution for American, International and Brazilian students. The academic program includes Early Childhood Education (ECE) for children between 2 and 4 years old, an elementary school (kindergarten-5), a middle school (6-8) and a four-year high school (9-12).
