History

Colegio Internacional de Carabobo in Valencia, State of Carabobo, Venezuela, was organized in 1955 by four companies: Celanese, Firestone, Goodyear, and U.S. Rubber.

In 1958, a ten-classroom school was constructed in El Trigal, a residential section of Valencia. During the 1962-63 school year, a library, four classrooms, showers and dressing rooms, and a photographic darkroom were added. In 1968, the high school building was constructed and was opened for classes on September 2. The building consisted of two science laboratories, a computer laboratory, classrooms, a lounge, and offices. Today the high school library wich was constructed in 1968, houses 8,000 volumes. A dining hall and a middle school were added during the early 1980's. Another addition, a multi-purpose recreational building, was completed in August of 1988. Most recently, two annexes, a lower primary building, a second middle school level, and a maintenance complex have been added.

Over the years, the enrollment has fluctuated between 200 and 450 students.
