Welcome to ECA- an outstanding international school. As you will discover as you learn more about ECA, our school is a dynamic and exciting place which is focused upon the factors which will best impact student learning. Since 1937 ECA has been providing an American international English language program for students whose families are temporarily assigned to Caracas with international corporations and diplomatic agencies. Our students are from over 40 nations. Our teachers come to ECA for its innovative and effective teaching practices.
Some highlights of ECA:
- ECA believes in the education of the whole child, including intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. The education of the head, heart and hand are complexly intertwined; the curriculum at all levels reflects this notion.
- We believe that all students should have access to the most challenging curriculum possible. Our school is a place where we expect all students to stretch and work toward high standards. Small classes and a variety of small group and individual strategies help children achieve these standards and their individual potential.
- We have a strong commitment to our partnership with parents. Our metaphor at ECA is a community of learners - parents, teachers, students, and community members, working towards the common goal of extraordinary student achievement.
- We work from rigorous curricular standards and hold ourselves accountable for those standards. Our standards reflect the best practices in leading international school throughout the world. This is no easy task in the world of education, but we believe it is the only way to truly improve the learning environment for children. That is our core business at ECA, doing whatever it takes to maximize learning.
