The Casco School is a boutique British school based in Panama. We offer an internationally recognized British bilingual curriculum that encourages students’ academic, personal and social growth. We welcome familites of all nationatities who wish their children to be educated in a caring, internationally minded and learning focused environment. Across three locations we offer Pre School, Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form for ages 2-17.

The school is fully bilingual with fluent speaking teachers in both English and Spanish. We follow both the British National Curriculum and the MEDUCA Curriculum. Based on the British school system, our learning philosophy at The Casco School provides a range of learning experiences, developing a broad skill set along with high academic standards. Social development is of high importance, and our small groups allow us to support children through personalised learning. We also offer an after-school program with, among others, French and robotics classes.

Our school year is based on the international school calendar, and we accept students throughout the year. The academic year starts in September until June with summer camp running in July.

Please visit our websites, www.thecascoschool and www.thecascohighschool.com, for more information.

The core curriculum is laid out by the MEDUCA curriculum in Panama and the National Primary Curriculum for England and Wales. It establishes the depth and breadth of coverage of subjects and also how teachers should adapt to meet students’ needs. Teachers study the art of teaching, the psychology of learning and the scientific processes that happen in the brain for students to receive information and transform it into knowledge, understanding it in an interdisciplinary way. The spiral framework allows children to develop understanding and skills, continuing to progress and build upon previous learning experiences. The framework uses a range of experiential learning strategies to develop creativity, problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Our international staff are specifically trained to meet the developmental needs of the students in the age group they work with. Our daycare and preschool staff provide sensory play-based learning experiences where young children develop the language and understanding that enables them to make sense of the world around them. Our primary children develop academically over the years. The teaching staff aim to bring learning experiences to life using meaningful projects to apply academic lessons to real life examples – all while having fun!
