welcome to cic!

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Colegio Internacional de Caracas (CIC), and the entire school
community, I welcome you to CIC’s webpage. CIC is a PN-12, private, non-profit, co-educational day
school which offers a college preparatory curriculum in English anchored by the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) which provide all
students with a rigorous academic experience, and a student-centered approach with notably caring
relationships between teachers and students. All this leads our students towards meeting US High
School graduation requirements and earning admissions into the best universities in the Americas,
Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Colegio Internacional de Caracas is fully accredited by Cognia and is an authorized International
Baccalaureate World School. Additionally, the School is a member of the American International Schools
in the Americas (AMISA, formally known as AASSA).

At CIC, we place great importance on academic rigor and on the social and emotional development of
our students. I invite parents to work together as partners in the process of educating your children,
please engage in the learning process and be part of this learning community.

Today’s challenges in education will require adaptability, creativity, and resilience from all the school
community members. Whether we are online or on-campus, our faculty and staff members are
committed to high academic standards, the safety of our community members, and our continuous
school improvement process. Therefore, we will deliver the best educational experience for our
students in spite of the challenges.

Finally, as an international school, we embrace diversity and multiculturalism and welcome students
from Venezuela and around the world. Take your time to navigate CIC’s web page and feel free to
contact us if you would like to visit our campus or have any additional questions.

Warmest regards,

Gustavo A. Sever, MAEd
