ENGLISH

We believe learning English is essential to becoming a global citizen. English is the key pathway to both the information explosion and the information economy. English fluency gives our students greater earning power throughout their lives. They learn new cultures and ways of thinking.

TECHNOLOGY

Our teachers and students use of technology in the classroom is double the average for Latin America. Our implementation of technology based projects helps to develop our students critical and analytical thinking. We are constantly seeking to innovate.

LEADERSHIP

Not all learning takes place in the classroom. We emphasize creative extracurricular activities so that each of our students can strengthen and develop the skills to empower them to be leaders of their own lives, and at the same time exercise leadership in their communities.

Our Projects

Convinced of providing quality education to our communities, we developed three social innovation projects:

English

Technology + English + Leadership is our formula to guarantee a better future for our students. Classroom computers, English in grades K-5 and also 6-11. The XO laptop also has the ability to create extracurricular activities for leadership building.

STEM/Robotics

We train teachers in STEM methodologies to improve student’s abilities in critical areas to keep up with the fast changing world of tech, to improve critical thinking and learn teamwork. Robotics projects both inside the classroom and in clubs address community needs.

TransformaTIC

First funded by Microsoft in 2016, we create opportunities for young people who do not study nor work (Ninis) developing competencies in technology for employment or study.

Volunteer Program

Colombia: The second most biodiverse country on the planet with an abundant culture and young population.

Do you want to make a difference? Will you help us close the digital divide? Will you help us reach the national goal of becoming a bilingual country? Can you help us train children to be global citizens?

Don’t think twice about being a volunteer with us in one of the most innovative and dynamic places in the world.

Scholarship Program

Convinced that education is the only way to bring new opportunities to bright students from vulnerable communities, we created a scholarship program that supports academic training for our students in English, technical studies, technology or higher education.

We currently have thirty-five scholarship holders. Fifteen are studying English in our partner institutions such as Colombo Americano, and twenty study higher education in Educational Institutions such as UPB, UCO, among others.
