I was surprised to notice not one single review for the International School of Panama on ISR and decided to contribute.

My purpose is not to destructively criticize International School of Panama, but to offer a balanced perspective of the school from our experiences. I must say it is difficult to summarize International School of Panama because....

The faculty at International School of Panama is excellent--there is a nice mix of older, experienced teachers and younger ones who have new ideas....

Most teachers cannot find nice accommodations near International School Panama with the provided housing allowance unless you wish to live next to the school, which is about 30-45 minutes outside Panama City....

Good: I have worked in the high school of International School Panama for the past three years, and have been happy with my experience there...

 
The technology and materials at International School Panama are great (within the context of a developing country with challenges re: bandwidth, etc)... 

Each year, a higher percentage of foreign hires are extending their contracts for 3rd and 4th years, from all divisions of the International School Panama.

To improve: 
The International School Panama is growing quickly, and is having growing pains with bandwidth, Special Ed, introduction of data driven assessment, language abilities of incoming students, new admin positions, etc...

The International School Panama has many nationalities, but Spanish is absolutely the predominate language of the students, and you will hear it everywhere; classrooms, lunchroom, sports teams, etc... es.
