Teach at Gimnasio del Norte School in Colombia

The Gimnasio del Norte was founded in 1977 thanks to the initiative of a group of people headed by its current Principal Director, Ricardo Pérez Arciniegas, a teacher, architect, and mathematician.

The overall development of the school has been harmonious, with the determined support of the parents, the contribution of the teachers, the workers, and the collaboration of the students. A large part of the first building was built by self-construction, with the active participation of all members of the community.

All the ideals on which it was created have been consolidated and remain a reality. The innovative programs seek the development of the student in the human, social, technical, artistic, and sports fields; the unique methodology, the discipline system, that is, its entire scheme is cohesive.

This framework is the result of an interest in developing the principles outlined, refined through personal experience, and with the active participation of all. Likewise, this process has allowed us to create new and fruitful relationships with other educational institutions belonging to the International Baccalaureate Organization.

Since 1978, Gimnasio del Norte has trained young people who are prepared to face the challenges of global society and ready to positively impact their surroundings. At our school, we all learn to live.
