International School of Curaçao

ISC is an IB World School offering the complete International Baccalaureate continuum. Elementary students follow the Primary Years Programme (PYP), authorised in May 2026; middle and lower high school students follow the Middle Years Programme (MYP), whose re-authorisation was completed in 2025-2026; and the final two years lead to the IB Diploma Programme (DP), including Creativity, Activity and Service. Dutch and Spanish can be studied up to IB level.

The school is organised into an Elementary School and a Middle and High School, covering the early years through Grade 12. Younger students learn through the IB Primary Years Programme, students in the middle grades follow the Middle Years Programme, and the last two years are devoted to the IB Diploma Programme as a college-preparatory route to universities abroad.

ISC's mission is to educate students from diverse cultures so that they think creatively, communicate effectively, reason critically and act compassionately. Its vision is for graduates to be global citizens who are collaborative, involved, respectful and responsible, a goal that has guided the school since its founding by parents.

ISC's campus in Emmastad includes a library and media centre, a maker space, two Chromebook labs, four all-purpose sports zones, a dedicated mindfulness space and the Legacy Theater for performances and assemblies. An on-site nurse looks after students' health, and the school runs 1:1 Chromebook and iPad programmes for learning.

Families can apply to a financial aid programme and a scholarship programme. The school has an on-site nurse, support for students with special needs and differentiated instruction, a 1:1 Chromebook and iPad programme, a school uniform and a child protection policy, and there is an active PTA.

Students can join more than 15 after-school activities and over 10 enrichment programmes. The co-curricular offer covers athletics, general music and choir, orchestra and visual arts, as well as Model United Nations, the IB's Creativity, Activity and Service, the National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society, and a service-learning programme. Activities run when a minimum group size is reached.
