The ICCI education instills attitudes, behaviors, sensitivities, skills, and knowledge that are essential to life and learning.

Adherence to its stated mission enables ICCI to sustain a learning environment in which student-faculty exchanges are presented in a very individualized and learner-friendly setting. The diverse and multi-national mix of students, faculty, and administrative staff assures an enlightened dynamic for an interactive teaching and learning environment. Graduates of ICCI are prepared to contribute service as constituents of the modern workforce, wherever they may choose to work.
The vision of the institution is manifested through practical career preparation combined with technological, economic, social, and ecological awareness; focus upon the Caribbean financial and tourist center location of the Cayman Islands; assurance of a reasonably priced and easily affordable education that is student-focused and responsive to local community needs; and fulfilling academic and cultural needs of the Caymanian and International communities in a variety of degree programs.

Core Values

The core values of ICCI embody a commitment to quality higher education that is affordable, practical, and empowering, thereby fostering placement of graduates in the career path of their choosing. Our core values are to provide a quality education that includes support to help students build their motivation to gain knowledge and skills, and to challenge their own learning with academic literature that leads to real world application. We encourage students to use technology, to integrate science with critical thinking, and to utilize writing as a solid means of communication.

Who We Are

The educational experience at International College of the Cayman Islands is based on the assumption that education is concerned with three broad areas: The students’ understanding of themselves, their society, other societies, and the relationship between them; development of the students’ personalities and potentials through exposure to a variety of positive educational experiences, philosophies and perspectives, so that they will have the maximum of freedom and resources in forming their own values; and training which will allow students to pursue their chosen vocations.

ICCI espouses the belief that understanding and development depend on the students’ perception of the relevance of their learning to themselves and their environment; that knowledge cannot be imposed, but is a dynamic process growing from the involvement of both teachers and students with problems and experiences which affect them. ICCI encourages participation by students and the people of the Cayman Islands in helping formulate college policy. The autonomy of each member of the college will be safeguarded.

International College of the Cayman Islands is founded on the belief that educational opportunities should be provided without regard to color, race, sex, handicap, creed, or national origin. ICCI does not discriminate on any of these bases in admittance, employment, financial assistance, or any other policies, programs or areas of the college.
