Project-Based Learning (PBL): "Learning to Learn"
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching methodology that empowers students to acquire knowledge and skills through real-world, practical experiences. At Grupo Academia Internacional, with campuses in Boquete and David, Chiriquí, Panama, PBL has become a cornerstone of our educational approach. This model aligns with our commitment to preparing students for 21st-century challenges by fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
What is Project-Based Learning?
Through PBL, students "learn to learn," building their knowledge through hands-on experiences that connect classroom concepts with real-world scenarios. This approach encourages active, meaningful learning that remains with students over time, equipping them with essential skills for their personal and professional growth.

Real-world application: Projects address authentic problems, making learning relevant and practical.
Promotes teamwork: Students collaborate, share ideas, and constructively resolve conflicts.
