Description:
The Spanish school on the tropical island Bocas is very spacious and open. The lessons are given in the garden or on the veranda.
You can choose between private lessons or group lessons. A group contains no more than four students. If there is no other student who has is at the same level as you, you get private lessons for the same value as the group lessons would be. The lessons of four hours are given in the garden. The school organizes lots of after school activities and excursions. On the wekend there is usually a barbecue for teachers and the students.
Due to the success with her schools, the owner of the schools in Turrialba (Costa Rica) and Bocas del Toro (Panama) opened a new school in Boquete in 2006. The school is housed in their private home which located outside of Boquete and is nestled in a lush green setting with a fruit garden which attracts lots of humming-birds and has a splendid volcano view. The garden has several kioskos, charming open spaces with thatched roofs where classes are given.
Highlights:
Bocas del Toro is surrounded with numerous other islands which you can visit easily and cheap by boat. Many (watersports) are possible as diving, snorkeling, surfing, mountainbiking etc. There is always a deserted beach to be found but Bocas has a lively nightlife too. The perfect location to study, be sportive, enjoy the sun and beach life and encounter easily other interesting travelers of all over the world. Voluntary work possible.
Throughout Panama Boquete is known for its cool and fresh climate and pristine natural environment. Because of the very fertile volcanic soil, coffee, flowers, vegetables and citrus fruits are growing here abundantly. Especially coffee farms are an important source of income for indigenous people living in the mountains above Boquete. The Guaymis women wear colourful dresses and are commonly seen in the village.
