King’s College School Panama


King’s College School Panama delivers an exceptional British education in the heart of the Panamanian rainforest. As part of the Inspired Education Group, the school welcomes students from over 47 nationalities, offering academic excellence paired with hands-on, inquiry-driven learning experiences.

Accredited as an “Outstanding” British School Overseas (BSO) and a High-Performance Learning (HPL) institution, King’s College equips students with the skills and mindset to excel in a rapidly evolving world. Its unique location, surrounded by the rainforest and close to the City of Knowledge, provides an ideal backdrop for integrating sustainability and scientific exploration into a transformative curriculum.

In 2022, the school transitioned to a purpose-built campus that reflects its forward-thinking educational vision. This modern, spacious campus encourages academic growth, creative exploration, and meaningful engagement with the natural environment. The campus includes three state-of-the-art science laboratories and two preparation rooms, designed to deepen students’ engagement with STEM subjects.

As part of this project, S+B designed, manufactured, and installed bespoke school furniture systems that perfectly match the requirements of the science labs. These include Wing student lab benches with integrated storage, custom teacher desks, and a Mobiline fume cupboard shared across the three labs.

The bespoke school furniture facilitates collaboration, ensures safety, and supports effective teaching. By combining functionality with modern design, the labs provide an inspiring environment where students can explore STEM subjects and develop critical thinking skills.
