Our Story
The Palmas Academy began in 1992 when a handful of determined families came together with a shared dream: to build a school for their children right in the heart of Palmas del Mar. With vision, commitment, and plenty of hard work, they rolled up their sleeves and constructed the very first “casitas” by hand, creating classrooms filled with promise. What started as a small community effort quickly became the foundation of a school that has grown alongside Palmas itself. Rooted in that same spirit of family and dedication, TPA has continued to thrive while never losing sight of the heart and warmth that sparked its beginnings.
