Question Schools in Panamá

Hi all,
My wife and I, along with our two children are thinking about relocating to Panama. My son will be 16 this year and wants to continue his education and do his bachillerato, my daughter is 10. They both speak fluent spanish,as we have lived in the Canary Islands for the last 8 years.
What I would like to know is, what are the state schools like, I know in some parts of south and central America schooling is practically none existant.
I've looked at a couple of private schools but the fees are a little high.
If anyone out there has kids at school I'd like to here what they have to say.
Bob.

Many US colleges have "off site colleges" in Panama city . You should have no problem finding the one that meets your standards . Many folks home school here . The internet makes it very easily now .

Thanks tarzan,
Excuse my ignorance, but what is an off site college?. I'm not from the US, I'm British.
Would that make a difference to being accepted?.

These would be Colleges whose Main Campus is in another country . I would not be surprized if some British Colleges are here too . I see no reason why anyone with proper grades would not be accepted to any of them .
