Colegio Colombo Britanico

Colegio Colombo Britanico is a private, non-profit-making, co-educational day school which provides a bilingual education for about 1,100 students aged from 2-18. There are four sections, Jardin, Infants, Primary and Bachillerato (senior), each with its own Head, situated together on the same spacious campus in the attractive rural outskirts of the city of Cali, and close to the spectacular foothills of the western cordillera of the Andes. A significant proportion of the teachers are fully bilingual and about 30% are native English speakers (mostly British). The overall staff to pupil ratio is 1:10.

The school was the first in Colombia, and the second in South America, to adopt the IB and all students in grade 11 now enter for the Diploma or Certificate programme. The IGCSE was introduced some years ago. Students also graduate very successfully with the Colombian diploma. The school enjoys a deserved reputation for sporting and extra-curricular excellence, community service, and for its programme of personal and social education.
