Students are the heartbeat of the American School of Puerto Vallarta/Colegio Americano. The student body is a diverse, yet close-knit group who share and learn from each other. Unlike some international schools, we seek to serve children from Puerto Vallarta and Mexico as well as international students.
Alex Trolson attended the American School of Puerto Vallarta during the 2002-2003 school year along with his sister Callie, age 9. Alex was born in Seattle, Washington and frequently visited Puerto Vallarta on family vacations, starting at 10 months old. Last fall the family temporarily relocated to Puerto Vallarta to offer the children exposure to another culture and to learn Spanish. Alex loved his experience at the school.
"Pancho" Seaney began primary school at the Colegio Americano and graduated in June 2001. Every year he sang in the special chorus and had important roles in many school plays and musicals. Pancho is an outstanding athlete who taught swimming classes, which helped to support him financially. Perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the school community, Pancho spent his years at the American School as a student leader and willing volunteer in community service activities.
