The Curaçao American Preparatory School
CAPS is an accredited, K3 – Grade 12 private, non-profit, English-speaking school on the island of Curacao.
Last week several of our high school students participated as delegates in the 2026 Model United Nations conference hosted by the International School of Curacao. The students had an excellent time and were able to put what they learned in the classroom into practice. We are very proud of all of our delegates, but want to give a special mention to Faith Steward, who was awarded Most Improved Delegate and also to Vasant Alluri who won 3 awards including, Best Public Speaker, Best Diplomat and Most Likely to Become UN Secretary General!!! Vasant is also part of a brand-new youth group called Breincafe Curacao, that is offering extracurricular workshops and projects for youth ages 14 – 19 years. It is very rewarding to see our students participating in and leading so many exciting initiatives and we know they have bright futures ahead!! 🥰
Yesterday CAPS was excited to have Jasmira and Daniel from Centrale Bank van Curacao en Sint Maarten visit our Grade 3 and 4 students to talk about money in general, as well as all about the new Caribbean guilder. It was a very informative and interesting visit, and the students (and adults) learned a lot.
Today marks the end of the third quarter of this school year!!!! It seems almost impossible to believe. Last week, students hosted our annual Cultural Celebration, and we were very happy to have so many parents join in the learning and the fun as well. Next week is short week before we head into our Spring Break and then the end of this school year is swiftly approaching with many more exciting learning opportunities for our students to come……
This week has continued to be filled with excitement, with our 3rd and 4th grade students celebrating with inventing and eating a magical ice cream flavor after completing reading Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 6th grade students conducting a lunar cycle experiment, general fun on the playground before school, St. Patrick’s Day, and a special visit from CRF – Curacao Rugby Federation who gave a rugby workshop to our older CAPS students. Now it is all hands on deck as we get ready for our Cultural Celebration Day tomorrow. Watch this space for more awesomeness to come……..
Starting the week off with cuteness from our Kindergarten music class, showcasing the volleyball skills of our Grade 1 and Grade 2 students, and checking out what some of our middle school and high school students get up to during their breaks (basketball and music practice). Looking forward to this week ahead and especially to the Cultural Celebration this Friday – we hope that many of our CAPS families will be able to join in the fun!!!
