Sabis International School Costa Verde

SABIS® Costa Verde students have meaningful experiences with modern, up-to-date methods and technologies used to improve and enrich their day-to-day learning experience, enhance their academic performance, and challenge the boundaries of traditional learning environments. Technology tools currently used by our students and teachers include E-books, interactive boards, and accompanying lessons, an integrated learning system, as well as an integrated testing and learning system. Beyond the classroom, our students continue to benefit from technologies developed by SABIS® that allow them access to a wealth of online learning tools from their homes, which complement and reinforce what they have learned in class.

E-learning in SABIS® Costa Verde is available for all students from the youngest preschoolers to the graduating seniors should the need arise. Every morning, they log in to the SABIS® Digital Platform from their tablets or computers at home to check their daily and weekly plans, and detailed schedules, and download any assigned material. As part of their day learning online, students are able to attend a mix of classes, some that have either been pre-recorded by their teachers and uploaded onto the SABIS® Digital Platform, and some that are given in a “virtual classroom” environment in real-time. Virtual classes are also recorded and uploaded onto the SABIS® Digital Platform, which students can access to watch again should they need to.

SABIS® Costa Verde’s main language of instruction is English, and Spanish is taught either as a foreign language or as mother-tongue to help students develop and maintain an appreciation for the rich history, culture, and traditions of Panama. Teachers at SABIS® Costa Verde are native speakers of the language in which they instruct students.

Students who are not fluent in our language of instruction benefit from our intensive language program that helps develop their language skills within their proficiency level. Based on the results of their diagnostic tests, students are engaged on the path they need to improve as fast and as efficiently as possible through intense support within the classroom or pullout lessons.

At SABIS® Costa Verde, we understand that education is the key to the future and our teaching philosophy is aimed at delivering a top-quality education that allows all students, not only the gifted few, to use their education as a means to shape the future. As a result, we don’t label or categorize our students as gifted, able, and/or talented. However, we offer all our students many opportunities to push themselves and their academic capabilities to reach their full potential. These opportunities include becoming a Peer Tutor or Shadow Teacher, a Subject Prefect, working with the Academic Department of the SABIS® Student Life Organization to organize academic events and initiatives, choosing to opt out of a course, practicing independent learning using SABIS® PAL (Personalized Adaptive Learning), among others.
