Chiriquí Chatter

I have had a couple emails with questions related to Adventista Bilingue for both the Escuela (grade school – kinder through grade 6) and the colegio (high school – grades 7-12).

I had some time this morning and drove up to the schools. Both schools are located on the edge of David on the right side of the InterAmerican Highway going toward the Frontera.

I first entered the Escuela and talked to the folks in the administrative office. They said they would send me information via email related to their offerings. My understanding, from this morning, is that the escuela has around 175 students. They teach English classes and I think science in English. All of the other classes are in Spanish. Following is a photo of the school.

I then went next door to the Colegio and visited with them. A very nice lady showed me around the campus. Here is a photo showing several of the buildings and the open court yard.

The Colegio has about 330 students. It teaches the following English classes (speech, grammar, reading, and spelling). It also teaches a general science class in English.

They have two computer labs, one in English and one in Spanish. The following photo was taken in the Spanish computer lab.

At the far end of this lab area is a control room, where one of the faculty monitors all of the terminals to insure that no prohibited Internet sites are visited by the students. Both labs (English and Spanish) have these control rooms.

You may visit their web site HERE.

It is in Spanish, but it should help you understand their offerings and don’t forget that Google will help you translate it if there is a need.
