Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a public, detailed fee schedule showing per-term or per-year tuition amounts by grade for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 years.

It establishes a Mediator Committee and outlines disciplinary procedures and consequences. The manual references safeguarding bodies such as the Child Protection Council and defender's offices to ensure the protection of students. These mechanisms support maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment.

Admissions

1. CIC has rolling admissions, which means students may apply and enroll at any point during the year, minimizing missed school when moving from a previous school. To begin enrollment, provide initial documents to start a student file and officially begin admissions. A set of documents is requested to give a clear picture of the student prior to joining CIC. 2. The required documents to begin the admissions process include: copy of the student's passport and birth certificate; copies of the parents' passports and IDs; school records (report cards/transcripts) for the past three years; psycho-educational evaluation or report if available; a recommendation form filled by the previous school and returned directly to Admissions via the email of Ms. Celeste Manganelli; vaccination records and memo from medical service; a recent photo; placement test; and a personal interview with CIC's Superintendent. Once these documents are received by the school, the CIC Admissions Team will contact parents by email or phone to discuss the interests of the family and provide an invitation to visit the CIC Campus. After the visit, families will take the final steps toward a potential offer of enrollment for the Colegio Internacional de Caracas. 3. Who can attend CIC? CIC is an international school with enrollment open to international passport holders. Enrollment is not offered until all documentation is received, and admission is decided by a committee of approximately ten teachers, administrators, and board members. CIC reserves the right to decline enrollment based on academic ability, English language proficiency, advisement from local embassies, or other criteria. CIC is an IB World School offering the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme, and the CIC diploma is a United States-accepted document. CIC offers English immersion with ESOL support for younger students; teachers speak English as the primary instructional language, and licensed teachers are hired from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Venezuela and elsewhere.
