About us

The AlphaMax Academy is a values-based institution of education with an international curriculum that is delivered in English and focuses on the cultivation of critical thinking, and the acquisition of solid, classical foundational knowledge and learning skills.

We are committed to success by guiding each student to success

Education is a lifelong endeavor. However, a good foundation is the cornerstone of this lifelong undertaking. It is for this reason that the Academy adopts Montessori-style training in the formative years of kindergarten and primary school.

Given small class sizes, students build skills through creative activities, and they are constantly challenged intellectually through the use of engaging, carefully selected, up-to-date texts, interactive teaching methods, and manipulative materials.

A Quote by Rabindranath Tagore
“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information, but makes our life in harmony with all existence.”
Our vision

Guidance to Success

To guide successfully and effectively the educational and scholastic development of students through kindergarten, primary and secondary levels of learning (K-13) in pursuit of excellence and in preparation for education at tertiary institutions of education.

Our mission

Our students are challenged to embrace an approach and lifestyle which supports the harmonious growth of body, mind, and spirit; to see the growth of character through the acquiring and cultivation of sound, positive, classic, foundational skills and habits as essential to their education.  

Our choices and selection of activities – such as the Academy’s Youth Challenge program, our practice of yoga and tai chi – reflect a thoughtful concern to forge a new middle course in Suriname in our rapidly changing, increasingly interdependent world. 

About the School

Committed to Excellence

The AlphaMax Academy is a values-based institution of education with an international curriculum that is delivered in English. The academic program ranges from kindergarten through high school (K – Grade 13), and focuses on the cultivation of critical thinking, and the acquisition of solid, classical foundational knowledge and learning skills. The Academy is run by the Directors of the AlphaMax Foundation, who, with a dedicated, experienced, and qualified team of teachers, provide high-level, qualitative, individual attention and teaching to the student body.

Academy Scholars reflect the school’s high standards of excellence in several ways: First, in their scores (in the top 1 – 5% worldwide) in international examinations; and second, in the fact that high-school graduates have been invited to, accepted at, and perform admirably in leading universities in the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Australia.
