Technology is rapidly transforming the ways we learn and is quickly becoming a fundamental pillar for education.

At Coronado International School, students have the tools and guidance to develop their skills in STEAM fields. With robotics classes, coding, and AI literacy, students are equipped with the knowledge for the world they will inhabit.

Project-Based Learning and digital tools enhance learning experiences and engagement. When offered in a community like Coronado, Panama, the possibilities are endless. 

Located on the Pacific Coast of Panama, CIS families are offered the ultimate lifestyle. CIS families gain access to the Coronado Golf & Country Club, which offers pools, a beach club, a gym, a spa, and restaurants. Families enjoy the convenience of the beach club with a restaurant, bar, and an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Coronado is home to the dry forest, a natural habitat for many animals. 

CIS encourages students to get outside not only in their free time, but also at school! With breaks for sunshine and stretching or a walk in the school garden, where students can pick fruit and vegetables. The 10-minute micro breaks make students feel better and learn more.  

The garden is also where the cafeteria gets some of its produce. CIS offers a cafeteria with whole foods made from locally sourced ingredients. Not only does this promote physical and mental well-being now, but it also establishes lifelong healthy habits. Nutritious meals provide the energy and nutrients students need for concentration and focus. Students feel better, and that makes parents feel better, too.

Technology + Project-based learning (PBL) 

The integration of basic coding will help students develop an interest in STEAM. In robotics class, students gain knowledge on mechanics, programming, and artificial intelligence. By offering students access to these fundamental concepts, students can explore specialized fields, including AI for robotics, autonomous vehicles, or industrial automation.

CIS offers a robotics curriculum designed for children that focuses on hands-on project-based learning. 

Skills & Community at CIS 

Critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration complement technical expertise. It’s not only students who are constantly learning, it is also the staff. There is continuous upskilling and reskilling at CIS; teachers are driven and motivated to adapt and create a successful education environment. 

By providing students with individual learning paths and goal-setting time, teachers aim to engage students with real-world problems, challenges, and their personal goals. This approach fosters a deeper meaning and knowledge retention.

By helping students develop essential skills like problem-solving and teamwork with real-life scenarios, learning takes place in a more impactful way. Since students take ownership of their projects, when they execute them, they feel successful. By offering these successes (and failures) in a safe environment, CIS aims to prepare its students for the real world. 

An Environment for Learning

The CIS community extends beyond academics. From a cafeteria that offers real food that tastes amazing, to a garden where students harvest their snack. Many benefits cater to diverse interests and promote a healthy lifestyle. For the whole family, with an 18-hole golf course, tennis, and pickleball courts, CIS families have the opportunity to learn something new or develop a skill they already have. 

CIS is more than an international school; it’s a community where families can cultivate friendships, pursue interests, and enjoy a balanced lifestyle while obtaining a world-class education with a Panamanian and a U.S. diploma. 

Education is a journey, and with the right resources and support, it can be a transformative experience for every child.
