Job overview

The Casco Secondary School

The Casco Secondary School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Science teacher to work in our dynamic team. The science courses will follow the Cambridge Key Stage 3 and IGCSE curricula for Years 7-11. In Years 12 and 13, we will follow the DP Curriculum of the International Baccalaureate. The position will start in August 2023 and include teaching mathematics to Years 7-11. 


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.


We aim to inspire our students to learn, explore and soar, developing them into confident, creative and balanced global citizens who face challenges with determination, eagerness and excitement. We offer an unparalleled standard of personalised education with opportunities for students to explore their creative side and learn from the very best international teachers in small groups. In the Secondary School, students have 80% of their subjects, including science, taught in English. 


Due to our increase in student population, we are delighted to be moving our Secondary School to our larger Albrook campus in August 2023. This growth provides a wealth of new opportunities for members of our teaching community.
