What are the schools in Puerto Lopez like?

"Information about international or bilingual schools specifically in Puerto Lopez is quite limited. It appears that the town may not have such institutions. Puerto Lopez is a small fishing village on the Pacific coast of Ecuador, known more for its natural beauty and as a gateway to the Machalilla National Park rather than for its educational institutions. However, in the nearby city of Manta, there are a few international and bilingual schools. One of them is the American School of Manta, which offers an American-style education with instruction in English for students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program for high school students. Another school in Manta is the New Era School, a bilingual institution that offers education from pre-kindergarten through high school. The school follows the Ecuadorian national curriculum but instruction is in both Spanish and English. Please note that while these schools are in the same province as Puerto Lopez, they are still about a 2-hour drive away. For more accurate information, it would be best to contact local authorities or real estate agents in Puerto Lopez," commented one expat when asked about in Puerto Lopez.
