About the School

The Columbus School focuses all its education labor towards the formation of leaders that are outstanding due to academic excellence, integrity and responsibility, their critical thinking, open and global minds and of course, their bilingualism. To achieve this objective our School is based on a bilingual academic program with both national and international standards, where academic formation is equally important as formation in values. For 14 years, and through three Schools (Elementary, Middle and High School), we provide our students appropriate development experiences with personalized guidance which allows them to discover and channel their academic, ethic and technological potentials and capabilities. After graduating, our students receive a dual academic degree, earning both the “American High School Degree”, and the Colombian Bilingual Academic Baccalaureate, the latter can emphasize on Pre-Engineering, Pre-Sciences or Humanities. Values and social responsibility are the cornerstones of our educational program. All of our students begin a professional academic program, both in Colombian universities and in different and prestigious foreign institutions.
