Our History
COLEGIO BILINGÜE DE PANAMA is a K-12 Bilingual school approved under Resolution No.
1923 of the Panamanian Ministry of Education. It is located in Panama City at Las Praderas de
San Antonio, No. 312, in San Miguelito.
The school began operations in 2004 with 56 preschool students, and two years later (2006), it grew to accommodate students from Kinder to sixth grade. In 2007, the high school building was incorporated, and by 2016, a new gymnasium, a semi-Olympic swimming pool, and new classrooms were added to the school’s infrastructure.
Besides holding a national accreditation by the Ministry of Education, and an ISO certification, Colegio Bilingüe de Panamá is a Leader in Me School (Franklin/Covey) and is currently seeking international accreditation through NEASC.
