OUR EXPERIENCE TEACHING IN PANAMA
Our institute has been receiving the highest reviews for a study abroad and internship program from our alumni, their families, and universities for since 2010. We have hosted 33 semesters of 10-weeks, taught over 1,000 students, and produced almost as many research papers on how to develop a socially and environmentally responsible village in the tropics. Our instructors and faculty are passionate about their subjects and their students getting the most they can from their time here.
WHY HAVE AN INSTITUTE FOR A TOWN?

People: As our village’s first civic institution, research is guided by student and faculty passions and ethics. Your work creates not only knowledge, but also the foundation of our culture and lifestyle.

Planet: By building everything from the ground up, we are able to make sure every system in our town from our electricity to our restaurants, landscaping, and even our buildings all make people more sustainable just by visiting or living here.

Profit: Some research requires the development of local products and services and many students have launched businesses they still own while attending the institute. Your work helps tilt the tables in favor of local business and creates local jobs.

Fun! Our valley is Panama City’s gateway to outdoor adventure. From pros to beginners wanting to take classes, our location is perfect for hiking, mountain biking, riding horses, and overnight expeditions into the jungle. Plus, we have four rivers nearby that can be rafted 8 months out the year .
