We're working closely with American institutions.
While the "liberal arts" may be a new idea in Myanmar's educational context, this model has been the cornerstone of America's higher education system for decades.
Since its founding, Parami Institute has partnered closely with Bard College and Center College - both top liberal arts and sciences colleges in the U.S. - to ensure that our curriculum, faculty, and structure align with American standards. Students can trust that they're getting a world-class education at Parami.
Parami taught me how to think the about cases happening around us and inside us critically and deeply. Since attending Parami, I can ask many specific questions from the different points of view. Before Parami, I couldn't ask the effective questions that enhance my knowledge. Now, every question that I ask fosters my curiosity to help develop deep and specific ideas.
