School 2 Costa Rica

The ..

School 1 Panama

This semi-private school with class sizes between 10 and 15 students,  goes from pre school to middle school 9th grade (in the Netherlands this would be age 4-15). The school is located on the Main Island of the caribean archipel Bocas del Toro, Panama. It is only a 5 minute walk away from the hostel where you would be staying.The school teaches in both Spanish and English. Spanish is the first language, but various subjects are taught in English (science, history, business administration). It is an evengelic school but all students are welcome and the religious part is not very present in the daily schoollife. Thanks to the highly motivated and well coordinated teachers and the good teamspirit, the school organizes frequent educational school outings to local organisations and businesses.
