International Educational
 

At the Forefront of International Education


Our mission is to provide high-quality International education that delivers a transformative learning experience to all our pupils through engaging and effective teaching. Our core values and the latest proven international educational practices, enable children at our schools to achieve their academic ambitions and career aspirations. 

We nurture the talents of all our pupils and and our expert team of teachers understand the importance of recognising the whole child, supporting not just their academic progress, but also their physical, emotional and social development.

At King's College Panama, we are committed to making a positive difference to the future of every one of our students, their families, and our staff members, while supporting and contributing to the wider world around us.

A Pathway To Success

A Pathway To Success


At the heart of our educational philosophy lies a commitment to nurturing academic excellence while also fostering essential life skills, such as self-confidence and independence. We achieve this by placing our students at the heart of everything we do, and providing a comprehensive curriculum built upon Inspired's three core pillars: Academics, Performing & Creative Arts, and Sport.

While academics hold a central position in our educational framework, they are complemented in equal measure by the vibrant worlds of Performing & Creative Arts and Sport. This diverse curriculum ensures that each student has the opportunity to uncover their passions and hone their skills, ultimately leading to the development of confident, thoughtful, and knowledgeable young individuals.

Our learning environment is designed to support students to achieve consistently outstanding educational results, and we benchmark ourselves against the best schools in the world. We believe that we play an important role in preparing pupils for life after school, whether at university or employment, and we equip them with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing, dynamic and diverse global environment.

Students at King's College Panama thrive in our safe, caring and academically challenging culture, and develop into well-rounded and community minded individuals.

A Message From Our Head


Oliver Proctor

Welcome to King's College School Panama. Thank you for your interest, and I hope it leads to a visit to our exceptional campus nestled within the rainforest here in Panama.

King’s College School Panama is a dynamic and ambitious institution, part of the King’s Group of international British schools, established over fifty years ago and currently owned and supported by the Inspired Education Group. This group provides premium education to over 80,000 students in more than 110 schools worldwide. Being part of this rapidly growing and dynamic group offers networking and growth opportunities for all members of the school community.

Learning and growing at King’s College School Panama is a personalised experience. With a focus on maintaining a small, family-like atmosphere for our learners, many of whom are far from their home countries, we maintain an exceptionally healthy staff-to-student ratio across the school. This results in a tailored learning experience for each individual. At our school, students take centre stage in an active learner-centred environment. In addition to being instructed by world-class international teachers, each learner benefits from having their own dedicated tutor. This crucial element of tutorship, a cornerstone of the British education system, provides each student with an adult mentor to guide their academic, emotional, social, athletic, and artistic development. They also serve as the linchpin of communication between home and school, forming a collaborative team for the success of every learner.

King’s College School Panama is accredited as an "Outstanding" British School Overseas (BSO). It is also an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and a Cambridge and Pearson (UK) examination Centre. This enables our secondary students not only to pursue the best academic programmes globally but also enhances their prospects for entry into the finest global universities. We are a High Performance Learning (HPL) accredited world school, and recently we achieved the prestigious “Wellbeing Award”. Ninety percent of our teaching staff are native English speakers, and the majority of them are British-trained educators with internationally recognized qualifications and experience. Our student population represents 47 different nationalities. When combined with our offerings of the IB Diploma, UK National Curriculum, Reggio Emilia approach to Early Years, and the IGCSE qualifications, our programme stands unparalleled in terms of internationalism in Panama City.

However, the most significant aspect of an international education is the appreciation and connection with the local environment. King’s College School Panama is located in the tropical Panamanian rainforest, just a short distance from Panama City and the City of Knowledge, where the United Nations and many leading global tech, research, and non-governmental organisations are based. Our school campus, surroundings, and curriculum are aligned to provide an innovative education centred around scientific research, exploration, and sustainability. We aim for your children to graduate King’s College School Panama, prepared to thrive as global citizens, and poised to make positive contributions to the environmental challenges our world faces. What better setting to acquire these lifelong skills than in the natural beauty of Panama.

In Learning,

Oliver Proctor

Our blended curriculum (the UK National Curriculum, with its IGCSE and the rigorous IB Diploma), is a unique combination that offers both breadth and depth and serves as a gateway to top universities in the UK, Europe, USA, Canada and the world. The UK curriculum is the most successful and widely used in the world, placing a strong emphasis on key competencies such as literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving. Students at our school learn from first-hand experience, not just textbooks, and are encouraged to be creative in their thought processes so that they grow into independent critical thinkers.
