The curriculum offered is designed to prepare students for ongoing studies globally, with most graduates attending university in Europe, the United States, and Canada.
The CAPS high school program is conducted largely in-person with the option to take some electives or Advanced Placement (AP) classes offered on a rotating annual schedule in person or possibly virtually. Students are required to graduate with a minimum of 24 credits. We highly recommend the following division of credits to offer our students the widest range of entries into a university of their choice;
- 4 credits in English
- 4 credits in Math
- 4 credits in Science
- 4 credits in Social Studies
- 2 Foreign Language credits
- 2 Physical Education credits
- 4 Elective credits (student choice)
This division is particularly applicable for students who intend to study in the science, medicine or engineering fields. For students who would need a less challenging track, we offer 3 credits in Social Studies, 3 credits in Science and 6 Electives instead.
The face-to-face courses at CAPS strive to challenge students to think critically, collaborate, communicate ideas clearly, consider global issues, and teach necessary skills for success in further studies and the workplace.
Graduates from CAPS receive a US-accredited diploma and typically continue their studies in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, or Curacao.
