We love PCIS, our boys are in lower elementory and are super happy to be back at school. There is lots of personalised attention and the principal and the teachers are the best you could wish for.

Estoy muy feliz de que mi hija aprendió a hablar ingles perfectamente en PCIS. Ahora ella prefiere leer libros en ingles y enseñarles a sus primos que no hablan ingles. Gracias a todos PCIS!

What Parents and Teachers say about PCIS

The first time i Met Kathy Kress was in 2018, and she had just come in from playing “Bear in the Woods” with the littles ones. She was the bear. .. That’s the kind of school PCIS is, and the kind of principal that Kathy is. I immediately knew this was the place for my two young daughters. Two years later, our family has never looked back? Kathy and her team has helped us integrate beautifully, not only in the school but also in the community.

I have three kids who have been attending PCIS. The first one graduated last year and was accepted by Rochester University in NY. The next is in High School and my youngest just graduated elementary school. I am a certified global teacher myself and feel lucky and blessed that we found this small gem of a school. It is a soul-nurturing, safe and creative environment and the kids here are happy and blooming!

Somos padres de dos estudiantes, ya graduados de PCIS. La escuela no solo ha formado académicamente a nuestro hijos para estudiar incluso en Europa, si no que les ha motivado cada dia a superase. Es una escuela donde realizan el milagro de que los niños estén deseando que llegue el lunes. No pudimos haber elegido mejor!

At PCIS Art is explored by students to earn lifelong skills, including appreciation of History of Art, Artworks and Artists. It is such a pleasure working in a school that encourages students to be aware of the beauty close to them in every day nature teaching them that every day is a gift and how to see the art in it.

Lizzy Janon – Art teacher

Working at PCIS not only means being part of a family of amazing teachers, but also working and growing with a spectacular group of kids, PCIS is the most professional , kind-hearted and accepting family you will ever find. I couldn’t be more proud of this school, its accomplishments and its students.

PCIS forever!

Candice Chiver – Teacher 

My name is Jacquie Benjamin and I am from British Columbia, Canada. I have worked in the school setting for over 15 years in Canada and I have spent my last 7 years at Panama Coast International School. It has been an amazing experience to be involved in a school that allows and encourages students to be themselves in a safe and supportive environment both personally and academically. I love my job at P.C.I.S. watching each student learn, grow and develop into outstanding individuals. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to be a part of your child’s development.
