International School of Panama?

Post by BigPapi »

Does anyone have any recent information about the International School of Panama? Or life in Panama in general?

The reviews on this site are mixed and out of date. I would love to hear some more current opinions about the school, especially since it looks like they got a new head since all the reviews were written. Also, many of the reviews mention problems with technology, and I am applying for a techie position, so very interested in knowing more about that! Also: salary/benefits - housing allowance/housing details - settling in? Is this school moving up or down?

The school website is quite bad but that doesn't always reflect the quality of a school, so if anyone has firsthand experience with this school, please share!

Thanks.

School is moving up not down. Previous head and this one are good. Secondary school admin is good. Technology has been improving every year. Every teacher has a laptop and projector, a few whiteboards floating around. I never heard a no when I wanted to order soft and/or hardware. Probably better now, I am 1.5 years removed.

Panama is okay. Traffic can be awful. You can get anything you need. Travel opportunities are good especially if you like the beach. As a family of three on one salary, we saved a little but not much. The package on search in under representing what you would get.
