Badi School

What Badi School does

Badi School is a private K-12 educational institution located in the Las Cumbres district of Panama Norte, Panama, serving families in northern Panama City. The school was founded by maestra Loty (Mercedes de la Guardia de Córdoba) in 1990, shortly after the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama, evolving from an informal homework-help and meal service called TAREAS in her garage into a Ministry of Education-licensed school called Escuela Badí. It offers three academic levels (Primaria, Premedia, and Media/Secundaria) and has been operating for over 30 years with a faculty and staff count in the 11-50 range. Note: firmographic data lists year_founded as 1992, while the school's own history places the formal founding in 1990.
