Santa Catalina Activities
Spanish school
If you’re looking to CONNECT more with the people and culture around you while your’re traveling, take some classes at Panama Spanish School, housed just inside the Villa Vento Hostel. The school offers a variety of unique group and private classes for all levels of Spanish language learners that are truly OUTSIDE THE BOX. Classes are held in open-air classroom, and include dynamic learning with games, music, dialogues, street challenges, and conversations with locals, dependent on learner preferences. A portion of the proceeds from PSS classes fund educational projects in the local community which all visitors are welcome to participate in. Check out the action here: https://panamaspanishschool.
