Our Staff
​
At Panaga we actively seek out and recruit education professionals who are highly qualified, dedicated and committed to their work. Panaga teachers are experienced in international education and support our students to learn and grow within a caring and supportive community.
​
Our student body changes regularly, due to the timing of expatriate parent contracts. New students often join us at any time of the school year. 75% of our teaching staff are well established and have an average length of service of 4+ years.

"The school can be proud of the Middle Years provision they have created for students, crucially allowing them two years extra to mature and prepare themselves for the more formal phase of their learning." - Independent Education Consultant, Middle Years Learning Review, October 2019
​
"The school has a faculty of high-quality professionals that can make a difference to international education and students that are motivated and eager to learn." - Independent Education Consultant School Review, January 2020
