Colegio Internacional de Caracas is an English medium, PreNursery-Grade 12 school dedicated to the intellectual and personal development of each student in a caring and supportive environment. CIC offers a challenging program to prepare an international student body to excel in a variety of the world’s finest schools and universities.

Colegio Internacional de Caracas:

1. Offers students a nurturing and supportive environment, which treats each student as a unique individual and challenges all students to excel academically and, at the same time, model the behaviors expected of responsible citizens of both the school and society.
2. Gives each student the opportunity to learn the value of and to become involved in Community Service, Creative Arts, Athletics and Technology.
3. Imparts to each student essential knowledge and skills, a joy of learning and the intrinsic motivation to become a life long learner.
4. Develops a social climate in the school, which models international understanding, community service, and the acceptance of and cooperation with, the diverse cultures represented by the school’s community.
5. Emphasizes the importance of collaboration between parents and the school so that all parents have the opportunity and are encouraged to be actively involved in their children’s education. As a parent owned rather than corporate entity, our organizational structure reflects our commitment to this principle.
6. Continues to assess our professional standards by maintaining our membership in organizations such as the International Baccalaureate and AdvancEd (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools-SACS).
7. Focuses on building each student’s leadership abilities and self esteem.
8. Ensures that our faculty will apply current educational research and practices. The school’s curriculum will be guided by a goal of thorough student mastery and achievement through a Standards-based Curriculum rather than merely covering content.
9. Encourages appreciation for Venezuelan Culture and the ability to communicate in Spanish.
10. Develops a school community, which believes in and acts upon these Principles.
