Calle 4ª - 7215 Bocas del Toro - see on map
What we like about the school
- 5 locations, all offering the same Spanish program
- Unique eco classroom (outside)
- Small class sizes
- Hotel / Hostel accommodation very close to school
Location: Spanish by the River is on the small island of Panama known as Bocas del Toro. It is on the very southern tip of the island, a stone throw away from Carenero Island. It is conveniently located on Fourth Street, right behind Main Street and close to the island’s airport. There are hotels, restaurants, bars, grocery stores and shops in the area.
Island life: It is possible to visit all the things in the town by foot. The school is close to the waterfront and near two major ferry points on the island. Both ferry stations have trips to mainland Panama. The island itself is small and so to get from oneside to the other is quick by car. The furthest point from the school, La Piscina Beach and the Blue Lagoon are 45 minutes away by car. The other side of the coast is the Playa Boca del Drago, which again is a 45 minute drive from the school.
School environment: Spanish classes are held all around the building, from upstairs on the balcony to the "rancho" in the garden. The communicative method is applied and the teachers make sure classes are fun by using music, role-playing and adding lots of cultural information so that you will stay motivated to learn.
Course structure: General Spanish classes, exam preparation courses, combination courses, a 40+ programme and DELE exam preparation lessons are all taught at Spanish by the River. The school also combines a range of diving options or a yoga extra onto a general Spanish class.
- The language school Spanish by the Sea was founded in Bocas del Toro, Panama in 1998.
- Legal name / parent company: Spanish by the Sea Corp.
