Panama

The southernmost of the Central American nations, Panamá is just south of Costa Rica and north of Colombia. While Panamá is known mostly for its famous canal, the country’s natural attractions, including some of the most pristine areas of rainforest in the world, are irresistible to travelers.

Panamá is home to over 940 recorded bird species and 125 animal species found nowhere else on the planet. Although currently little visited by tourists, Panamá is a friendly and welcoming country with an eclectic mix of cultures making it an ideal place for Spanish immersion.

ILERI was founded in 1994 in Panamá City. It is a small, friendly school located in Altos del Chase, 20 minutes from downtown and only five minutes away from the most accessible and only seasonal dried forest in Latin America — Parque Natural Metropolitano. The goal of this school is the teaching of the language through the life and culture of the host country. The homestay families actively help students in the learning of the language and provide a unique opportunity to interact and experience the culture.

With more than 10 years experience, ISC PANAMÁ offers professional Spanish classes in an excellent environment. Each class has a maximum of four students in order to allow a balance between group-work and personalized instruction. Located in the heart of the Panamá’s business district, the school is surrounded by banks, shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and other sites of interest.
