Superintendent’s Welcome
Dear Escuela Campo Alegre Community,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to a new school year filled with promise, growth, and innovation. At ECA, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide the very best international education in Venezuela, preparing our students to thrive in an ever-changing world.
This year is especially significant as we advance in our journey with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme. Already proud to be an IB Diploma Programme (DP) World School, we have launched our Primary Years Programme (PYP) candidacy and are preparing for the Middle Years Programme (MYP). These steps bring us closer to aligning all grade levels—from Nursery through Grade 12—under the IB framework, ensuring that every student benefits from an inquiry-driven, globally minded, and rigorous education.
At the same time, we are strengthening our identity through The Campo Way: Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe, Do Your Best. These values are not only guiding principles but the foundation of the culture we nurture each day. They shape how we learn, lead, and live together as a community.
Equally important is our commitment to a Continuous Improvement Model. At ECA, we believe excellence is never final. Through reflective practices, innovation in teaching and learning, strategic upgrades in technology and facilities, and robust professional development for our staff, we ensure that ECA is always evolving—always leading.
Together, these initiatives position Escuela Campo Alegre as a school of choice: a place where students are challenged, values are lived, and futures are built. With the dedication of our outstanding faculty, the support of our parents, and the passion of our students, we are confident this will be a year of achievement, inspiration, and growth.
Thank you for being part of this journey. At ECA, we are proud to say: “ECA is the place to be!”
Warm regards,
Jeffery Richardson

The Superintendent reports to the Board of Directors and ELT members and the above professionals report to the Superintendent.
ECA is governed by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is self-perpetuating, and represents the original shareholders who established
the school. There are no elected members to the board. The Board of
Directors concentrates on broad direction and strategic planning of the
school, and delegates the day-to-day operation of the school to the Superintendent. The Superintendent is a full voting member of the board and acts as the visible representative of the board.
