The school offers a Tikkun Olam program for students in elementary school through to 9th grade and its own programs, as well as ones organised by ORT, that deepen students’ knowledge and skills in STEM subjects.
Panama is also the host country of the annual World ORT Ecology Summer School. With access to both the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean and containing tropical rainforests as well as coastal flora and fauna, it has proved to be perfectly suited to the aims of the summer school, which attracts ORT high school students from across the Spanish-speaking world.
