Zamorano Pan-American Agricultural School

Zamorano Pan-American Agricultural School, generally known as El Zamorano or Zamorano, is a private, coeducational, boarding school located in the valley of the Yeguare river, Honduras.

Standing tall in the Honduran valley of the Yeguare River, Zamorano's story began in 1941. A visionary named Samuel Zemurray, the American president of the United Fruit Company, dreamt of an agricultural school unlike any other. His ambition? To cultivate not just crops, but future leaders for a sustainable and thriving Latin America.

Zamorano's soil was sown with a unique philosophy. Education would combine the rigorous science of agriculture with hands-on learning, instilling both knowledge and a deep connection to the land. Students from across the Americas became Zamorano's first seeds, carefully nurtured by a diverse faculty of experts.

The early years were filled with pioneering spirit. Students not only tackled their studies but also helped build the very campus that housed them. They learned by doing, mastering crop cultivation, livestock management, and the nascent science of sustainable practices.

Beyond academics, Zamorano nurtured a vibrant community. Student clubs thrived, debating the future of agriculture and forging lifelong friendships. Zamorano's halls resonated with cultural exchange, celebrating the diversity of its students and their heritage.

Zamorano's story is one of continuous evolution, adapting to the challenges and opportunities of a changing world. But its core mission remains constant: to empower future generations to cultivate a more just and sustainable future for all, proving that a single seed, sown with hope and nurtured with purpose, can flourish into a mighty force for positive change.

Zamorano Pan-American Agricultural School is ranked as the #2 top university in Honduras during 2025. This is the same rank as last year.
