Welcome from Head

Dear BSI Families & Community,

At Boston School International (BSI), our goal is to provide a wide range of opportunities that will allow your child(ren) to thrive, be prepared to reach their goals, and achieve their dreams.

With great pride and enthusiasm, I would like to introduce myself as the Executive Director of BSI, Mr. Darin T. Carney.

On a personal note, I am the father of three grown and successful young men. My wife—also an educator—and I have been married for over 30 years, and we understand both the rewards and challenges of raising school-aged children. I am here to work with each of you!

About our Director

I have worked in Asia and the United States for over 30 years. Most recently, I spent several years with the XCL International Educational Group, serving as the Chief Operations Officer of the Vietnam Australia School (VAS) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and as the Founding Superintendent of the American Academy in Singapore. I have also worked as the Head of BCIS American International School in Shenzhen, China, and Hong Kong.

Before my experiences in Asia, I was fortunate to serve in several educational leadership roles in the United States, including Superintendent and Founding Principal.

I am truly grateful to be in Panama and excited to work with you and your children. Our goal is to provide the necessary opportunities and support for your family to help your child(ren) reach their goals. Furthermore, I look forward to working not only with our local community in Costa del Este but also with the global community—including, but not limited to, the United States—to expand our opportunities, mission, and goals for each student, every day.

Much like your child, we are building something extraordinary and unique at BSI with the global perspective of the International Schools Partnership (ISP).

We look forward to meeting you soon and working alongside you, your child, and your entire family.

We are pioneering something great; I hope to meet you all soon!

Sincerely,

Darin T. Carney
Head of School
