  Description

  We live in a small beach town in Panama with our family of 3 boys and are looking for someone to provide a higher level of education for our children.
  We are from New York, Colombia and Panama. We have been living in Panama for the last 15 years.
  We run a small beach resort in our town that is at the center of community and expat life in our small town.
  We are looking to provide our children with an education that our town cannot provide, while still having them enjoy the benefits of this wonderful community and the off the beaten path lifestyle.

  We live in a coastal town in Panama. Although small, and somewhat remote, our town is home to many expats and receives visiting tourists throughout the year.
  We have a very welcoming culture and community. Spanish immersion. New cultural experiences.

  Panama is an extremely safe country and uses the American dollar. Although most rural people do not speak English the country is relatively easy to travel within.
