Fanny Brandao – English Principal

Dear OIS Family,

I would like to take this opportunity to express what a privilege and honor it has been for me to be a member to the Oxford International School family for the past fifteen years. During this time, I have been an elementary teacher, a high school professor, an elementary coordinator, and finally one of the high school academic coordinators.

It is indeed a challenge to work in an institution with a reputation of excellence and high expectations of our learners.  This success would not be possible without the invaluable support of  parents, our commitment to provide quality bilingual education, and the work of teachers who encourage students to reach their highest potential.

Alvaro Alvarado Ojo – Spanish Principal

During the past decade, sharing my knowledge and experience with all the members of the OIS family has been gratifying. I began working at OIS as a teacher and later became Spanish coordinator, position I fulfill to date. My job has enabled me to actively participate in the continuous growth and development of Panama’s educational system favoring both local and foreign families.

OIS mission and vision are part of my own, for my goals are to aid the development of a fair, responsible, and proactive society. Also, I strongly believe that quality education, strong moral values, knowledge and application of new technologies, and English fluency are all key elements of our students’ future success.

The Spanish department’s mission is to reinforce fluency of written and oral Spanish and instill the importance of Panamanian cultural values and patriotism within a universal and continental frame.
