Maria Immaculata Lyceum

Maria Immaculata Lyceum (MIL) is a Roman Catholic secondary school located on Gouv. v. Lansbergeweg in Willemstad, Curaçao. Founded on 5 September 1949 by the Sisters of Roosendaal, it was originally established as a Catholic institute for secondary education for girls. From 1957, male students were also admitted, and the school has since operated as a co-educational institution. MIL is part of the RKCS (Rooms Katholieke Centrumscholen) network of Catholic schools on Curaçao and offers both HAVO (Hoger Algemeen Voortgezet Onderwijs) and VWO (Voorbereidend Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs) tracks, preparing students aged 12 to 18 for higher education. The school is known for its strong academic culture rooted in Catholic values, discipline, and a commitment to the holistic development of each student. Instruction is conducted primarily in Dutch. Maria Immaculata Lyceum continues to be one of the most respected secondary schools in the Dutch Caribbean, with a history spanning over 75 years.
