Humanities Teacher

The Casco Secondary School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated humanities teacher to work in our dynamic team.

As a boutique and bilingual British school, The Casco School was established to provide high-quality education in Panama. We currently offer preschool, primary and secondary school.

Our school is united by one philosophy:
we are ambitious for our students, our people and our community.

The Casco School is creative, dynamic, and based around a strong community of families all seeking a neighbourhood school with a difference.

We have families enrolled from around the world, all wishing to align with our international ethos.
