A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Panama
Locations
Though just over 28,000 square miles in size, Panama has immense diversity in everything you can think of. You can dip your toes in the Atlantic Ocean at sunrise, and then cross the highlands and watch the sunset over the Pacific on the same day. When it comes to choosing where to teach English in Panama, there are several choices that reflect that same diversity.
The biggest city in Panama by far is Panama City, a global metropolis containing all the amenities you can imagine. You’ll also find the greatest number and variety of teaching jobs in Panama City, from elementary to secondary level and public to private schools. On weekends and between academic semesters, you can enjoy Panama City’s renowned nightlife, budding gastronomy scene, or explore the colonial history in the old town, Casco Viejo. Whatever your own extracurricular interest, you can strike a balance between time in the classroom and “homework” experiencing your new home.
If you’re looking for somewhere less urban to teach English in Panama, consider Bocas Del Toro. This seaside town isn’t big, but offers a beautiful setting and plenty of beaches with world-class surfing you can enjoy in between grading assignments and writing lesson plans.
Other cities you might consider applying for teaching jobs in Panama in include the small town of Boquete and the mid-sized city of David. Both of these cities are likely to offer more immersive experiences of Panamanian culture than a global destination like Panama City, and both have a need for teachers and educational programs.
On the whole, education in Panama is a growing priority; though students are only required to attend seven years of elementary and three years of middle school, over 60 percent of young people in Panama complete these compulsory years and 90 percent of Panamanians are literate. As Panama continues to rise in international importance, both economically and as a tourist destination, the need for teachers to support education, English language education specifically, will continue to grow.
