About

Who We Are

"Those who live in the present looking at the past cannot walk towards the future"
- Cor. Ramón M. Barquín

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop students into leaders and instil in them the spiritual, democratic, and civic values necessary to promote a positive transformation of our society. To develop the student’s personality holistically, in an environment of human dignity and academic excellence.

Our Roots

American Military Academy is a bilingual (English and Spanish), coeducational, private, college-preparatory, non-profit institution. AMA was founded in 1963 by Col. Ramón Barquín, who dreamed of creating a school that would educate children holistically, intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically; a school that would inspire, encourage, and develop democratic leaders and professionals who would make an impact on today’s society. Barquín´s dream was inspired by his own personal experiences, a legacy of struggle and oppression in his native country, Cuba. His dreams were fulfilled in Puerto Rico.

Located in the City of Guaynabo, AMA has one of the finest campuses in Puerto Rico with 25 acres of owned property. Nestled in a highly populated area of middle-and upper-class neighborhoods, this has created a multicultural environment adding to the over-all diversity of AMA.

This is us!
