Statement from Assistant Secretary Brian Nichols at Curaçao's first English languagr Immersion School, St. Antonius.

30/10/2024

St. Antonius is Curaçao’s first English language Immersion School, a significant development as it offers local students more options for higher education abroad, with the added benefit that students who go to the United States for university typically return to their home country and contribute to the local economy and community. The Department of State supported the development of the school’s curriculum and teacher training through grants previously totaling $115,000 to contribute to long term economic diversification on Curacao.

Today Assistant Secretary Brian Nichols announced an additional USD$60K grant from the Department of State to fund the continuation and expansion of the English immersion program to the students and faculty of St. Antonius, bringing total assistance to $175,000. The $60K will fund not only the continuation of St. Antonius’s program, but also an expansion to other interested schools on Curaçao and the sister islands of the Dutch Caribbean.
