The Five Stars Academy Vegetable Garden!

  The Five Stars Academy vegetable garden was the setting for a good, old-fashioned carrot-pickin’ yesterday afternoon. Students from Kindergarten through Middle School got their hands dirty picking carrots from the school’s raised organic vegetable beds. In addition to intense studies using a U.S.-based curriculum, Five Stars focuses on an appreciation of basic self-reliance skills including farming and gardening skills. “I really like gardening. I haven’t done it much before. It was cool to see the seeds I planted grow into carrots. Some of my friends took the carrots home to eat and others decided to feed them to our school rabbits.” Ronan, Grade 7 student

“This unique Five Stars experience is one that I’ve not had the opportunity to be a part of before as a teacher from the U.S. The students were able to learn about biology, nutrition, and earth science by planting, cultivating and harvesting their own organic produce.” Jenna, Teacher at Five Stars Academy

The Five Stars Academy is a full-English school certified by Panama’s Minister of Education offering a U.S.-based curriculum from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 9.
