MET International Day was a vibe—here’s why

MET 12th International Day - MET 12th International Day
Flags, music, food, laughter—and above all, community. That’s what filled our campus during this year’s International Day at The Metropolitan School of Panama.

With over 48 nationalities represented in our student and parent body, this event is a vibrant reflection of who we are: diverse, united, and proud of where we come from.
Over 20 Countries, one incredible day

This year, more than 20 country booths brought culture to life with traditional food, games, facts, and decorations. Families came together to represent: Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, India, Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Guatemala, Israel, Honduras, South Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, and Panama.

The event also featured student and parent performances, showcasing music, dance, and traditions from around the world. And for the first time ever, we had our very own Comparsa Parade, proposed by Grade 11 student Catalina and brought to life by student creativity and collaboration. The winners? Our amazing Grade 8 students, who brought rhythm, energy, and spirit to the stage.

A celebration fueled by generosity

This unforgettable day wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our community. A huge thank you to our amazing Parent Council, whose leadership and dedication brought this event to life. Along with the help of over 40 generous sponsors, we were able to give out more than 100 prizes—adding even more excitement and joy to the celebration.

It’s hard to capture the energy of International Day in just words—so we made a video. Watch the full recap on our YouTube channel here and experience the unity, connection and family feeling that define this special day at the MET.
