Program Reviews

We had an absolute blast learning Spanish at Casco Antiguo Spanish School! On our first day, we were welcomed by Ismael, the receptionist, and his infectious smile that set the mood for the rest of our two weeks at the school. David, the owner, was always reachable, to lend his perspective on life in Panama. The admin and the teachers were consistently friendly; Lina and Sandra did a great job catering to our learning levels and abilities. We also appreciated the extra curricular activities that helped us connect to other students- Salsa class with Jazmine, a bicycle ride adventure with a full history of the city by Ismael and a fun happy hour outing with some of the teachers; these certainly helped seal some good friendships. Thank you all at Casco Antigua Spanish School for a great Spanish learning experience!

Spent a week with Casco, the location is amazing and the teaching was really good. Very good activities as well which made the expereince really immersive! I particularly had a lot of difficulty with talking and some aspects of B1 and the week with Casco really helped me get my spanish to teh start of B2. I think what also really helps is that alot of the resources they provide are very interactive, i.e. videos and exercises to work together with other people in the group, rather than just drilling through grammar!

My experience here was amazing. I took 4 hours of private lessons 5 days a week and the lessons never were boring and were always engaging, teaching certain lessons through stories and history. Up front, my teacher (Ana) asked me what types of things I wanted to focus on, which I appreciated, and we practiced all aspects of language learning (listening, talking, reading, writing). There was some homework each night but nothing that prevented me from enjoying the rest of the day. We also went to museums a few of the days as part of the classes. I will definitely be back

Having attended Casco Antiguo Spanish School, for a four week intensive beginners class, I now find myself with a firm foundation from which to continue my Spanish journey here in Panamá. A combination of class size, conducive learning environment, and the professionalism and skill of all the staff resulted in an interactive and successful programme. Afterschool leisure activities further facilitate language practice and socialisation. Highly recommend the school! Without a doubt I will be back for more classes in the not so distant future!

I spent a wonderful week at Casco Antiguo Spanish School. They made it both educational and fun, including daily "field" trips to visit a local museum or market and encourage us to use our Spanish to ask questions of the local people.
Our teacher was excellent, and the classes are small (just 2 in mine). It's in a beautiful neighborhood and felt very safe.
I've been to four Spanish schools, and while this place isn't fancy, it's the best "bang for the buck" that I've experienced. Highly recommend!

I spent a week at Casco Antiguo and really had a wonderful time. I found the teachers and the staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. Our class time was spent talking and learning. Our teacher used games, textbook, and real world examples to help us learn. I loved going to museums and learning new vocabulary along with local and national history. Learning about Casco history really enhanced our class time. The sunset bike ride was amazing. I hope to attend the school again in the future.

First of all the school is located in Casco Viejo, but the modern city is just a short bike and even walk away and the metro station is not that far either, I walked to it. The staff at the school is just wonderful. You are supported in any and every way you need to be. I took one-on-one classes and got to work on what I needed to. Javier zeroed in on my level and what I needed to advance in order to express myself better. I left with knowing what I can and need to do on my own and with a teacher....maybe internet class, to keep moving forward, which is what I want to do.

A great place to learn or improve your Spanish skills. They really focus on listening and verbal skills. By the end of my 5 weeks I had advanced significantly in comprehension and speaking.
There is much to see and do in the Casco Viejo area in addition to the after school activities organized by the school. The Amadore Causeway is a great place to watch ships enter/exit the canal. Rent a bike on Sundays and ride the Cinta Costera bike path. Also, Ubers are inexpensive, Overall a great educational and fun experience.

can't say enough good things about Casco Antiguo Spanish school! Our instructor was great! Everyone there was so nice and helpful all the time. The instruction was excellent, they have very small classes (only 2 in ours) so we received very personal instruction..and I loved that each day we walked to an activity during class to not only practice or Spanish but to learn more about the Panamanian culture. They also had great evening activities everyday for anyone that wanted to join in! ITruly, The best ever!
