Preparing students for life outside of Colegio Interamericano and to study abroad, orienting them towards being responsible members of a global society.
Our curriculum follows a rigorous university preparatory program, which meets the graduation requirements for both the United States and Guatemala.
Although 80% of all academic courses in high school are taught in English, Spanish still remains a cornerstone throughout in our whole program. Students obtain both a U.S. High School Diploma and the Guatemalan Bachillerato en Ciencias y Letras Diploma. These programs fulfill the requirements of the local Ministry of Education and Cognia (formerly known as AdvancedED).
The faculty is made up of qualified Guatemalans and foreign teachers from the United States and Canada (a student/teacher ratio of approximately 10 to 1). Our Counseling Department has two full time counselors: one for ninth and tenth grade, and another one for eleventh and twelfth.
We are also proud to offer a variety of Advanced Placement and Honor Level Courses.
Grade Point Average (GPA) is the cumulative average of all courses from grades nine to twelve. A 60 % grade average is the minimum passing grade. The school year has more than 180 student contact days, running from August to June. The school year is divided into four quarters; each quarter is approximately nine weeks long.
Among the sport and recreation areas, the school has a gymnasium, a soccer field, basketball and volleyball courts, and several common areas for other disciplines to be practiced.
We offer a wide variety of co-curricular activities including sports, community service, student government and different clubs for extra- curricular activities such as SAT prep classes, Model United Nations, the Literary Club and the Yearbook committee.
