"The Pacific American School trains global leaders with virtues of knowledge, morality, and physical wellness."

The world has been through three big revolutions so far and the revolutionaries have taken the lead in changing those times. The world is changing rapidly and we have another big turning point ahead of us. With the development of technology, The Fourth Industrial Revolution brought about a global era. With the new era just around the corner, we have one thing to focus on: education. The basis of revolution is education. Without education, there would be no revolutionaries leading the world and no historical events would have taken place.

Pacific American School trains global leaders who can read the changes in time and guide us through them.Knowledge in textbooks is not enough for our children who will live beyond the 21st century and onto the 22nd century. It is essential that they are capable of connecting knowledge and creating new values beyond each subject area. A person who is able to push oneself and explore new environments has the potential to be an excellent leader with intelligence beyond knowledge.

Since the world has become one global society, the ability to empathize and care for each other has become more important than ever today. Being able to understand each other is essential in the process of sharing knowledge and wisdom. Children unconsciously acquire moral values in the process of interacting with people of various race, religion and culture. As the saying goes, 'A healthy mind in a healthy body'. It is physical health that supports intelligence and virtue. Physical wellness is essential for children's learning and growth. Pacific American School offers healthy education in a clear, natural environment. In the mild weather and clean nature of Fiji, students can thrive in a lively and balanced lifestyle. Children will become globally outstanding individuals by sharing knowledge and culture with people of various nationalities in a beautiful natural environment. The Pacific American School will make every effort to help them make that first step.

Acting Principal’s Greetings

Nurturing global students with
righteous personalities

Welcome to PAS, an international school located in Fiji, where safety and beautiful landscapes are guaranteed. Our school offers the following curriculum that specifically aims at nurturing globally outstanding individuals with upright personalities, creative thinking, and international appreciation.

First, physical education and the arts help to foster good character. Second, diverse, optional subjects allow students to find and develop their own academic interests. Third, serious focus on students' foreign language proficiency and self-directed learning skills can develop global competence. Fourth, a truly global education encourages our students' interest in the world and helps them find their place within it.

As such, our school operates on an educational course that is simple, yet diverse. We are a student-oriented school that provides customized educational opportunities for each student. Our faculty maximizes students’ potential by setting clear standards and actively help students to meet them.

The main purpose of education is the integral development of a person. In addition, it is a source of its obvious benefits for a fuller and better life. Education can contribute to the betterment of society as a whole. It develops a society in which people are aware of their rights and duties.

If students are accepted into our school, they will become great leaders in our globalized society based on their flexible and creative thinking abilities, well prepared to further develop as globally outstanding individuals that serve their communities. I guarantee you that entrusting us with your child’s care is something that you won’t regret. We invite you to our school. Thank you.
