For all incoming students transferring from an English speaking school applying for grade 1 and higher, a screening test for English and Mathematics is mandatory. Students transferring from a non-English speaking school will be required to take a language proficiency test for placement in our English Language Learner (ELL) Program. English Language proficiency will not determine admission except for students applying to high school, although it may affect grade level placement for the lower grade levels.
All fees vary in price depending on the child’s grade level. The fees for the 2024-2025 school year can be found here Curaçao American Preparatory School Fees. If you are applying for transfer from the Dutch school system, please use this document for help in comparing the grade levels for the US versus the Dutch educational system.
