Colegio El Minuto de Dios Siglo XXI

The school's educational project is inspired by the Gospel and the legacy of Father Rafael García Herreros, focusing on integral human development, values, and social commitment. It seeks to form free, thinking individuals who are solidary, informed, and eager for knowledge, capable of contributing to a more peaceful world through mutual understanding and intercultural respect. The institution promotes an integral ecology and encourages students to be protagonists of their own destiny and the transformation of the world.

The school provides a complete educational path from preschool through secondary education, culminating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for students aged 16 to 19. The IB curriculum includes subjects such as Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Environmental Systems and Societies, Global Politics, Mathematics, Language and Literature, English B, Business Management, Philosophy, and Biology. The academic experience is enriched by the CAS (Creativity, Activity, and Service) programme and the requirement of an independent research project known as the Extended Essay.

Graduates are prepared for higher education and are recognized for their academic training, values, and social commitment. As an IB World School, the institution offers the Diploma Programme, which is recognized by universities globally and aims to develop independent, internationally-minded students with strong critical thinking and organizational skills. The school emphasizes the development of leaders capable of acting with ethical and moral criteria in a globalized world.

The school maintains a dedicated psychology department to support the student body. It also implements a comprehensive school coexistence route, managed by a School Coexistence Committee, to address conflicts, promote citizenship, and ensure the protection of human and reproductive rights within the school community.

The school follows a structured admission process for prospective students, which includes the purchase of an enrollment form, the submission of required documentation, and the completion of an admissions test to assess strengths and weaknesses. Interested families can contact the admissions office via phone, email, or an online form to receive detailed guidance on the step-by-step procedure. The institution provides specific support channels, including a dedicated admissions chat and telephone lines for inquiries.

The school operates on a Calendar A schedule. The academic year includes various institutional events, such as forums and festivals, as well as scheduled periods for school breaks and pedagogical staff days. Parents are provided with a monthly menu and a school calendar to stay informed about ongoing activities and academic commitments.

The campus is located in the Minuto de Dios neighborhood in Bogotá and features facilities designed to support the school's educational mission. The school provides access to a virtual tour for families to explore its physical environment. Essential services on-site include a school health and wellness ecosystem, nursing, and transportation services.

The school offers a range of projects designed to foster creativity, physical activity, and community service, which are central to the IB Diploma Programme's CAS (Creativity, Activity, and Service) component. These include projects in agroecology, dance, music, robotics, sports, and environmental conservation. Additionally, students participate in initiatives like the UN model to strengthen communication and debate skills, as well as recreational activities aimed at promoting physical and social well-being.
