Colegio Inglés de los Andes

The school is committed to forging individuals for life, progress, and peace through an education based on values such as respect, responsibility, healthy coexistence, solidarity, love for study, and tolerance. It promotes an inclusive, open-door philosophy that seeks to harmonize emotional well-being with academic rigour to prepare students for the challenges of modern life. The institution emphasizes the development of critical thinking, autonomy, and empathy to foster citizens who contribute positively to society.

The academic programme spans from pre-school (starting at age two with Párvulos) through to the completion of secondary education. The curriculum includes Basic Primary and Secondary education, culminating in Media Vocacional (grades 10 and 11), which features a specific emphasis on English and systems technology. The educational approach integrates intellectual, creative, and emotional development, preparing students for life through a blend of culture and academic study.

The school provides integrated support services, including an on-site psychology department and an infirmary to assist with student well-being. Additionally, the extended day programme offers academic reinforcement in mathematics and reading comprehension to support students' learning needs.

The admissions process requires a formal application, which includes submitting a completed form, payment of an application fee, and providing necessary documentation such as identity documents and previous academic reports. Prospective students and their guardians must attend a mandatory in-person interview. The school reserves the right of admission and communicates final decisions within three business days following the interview.

The school operates from Monday to Friday. Daily schedules are divided by level: Pre-school and Primary students attend from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM, while Bachillerato students attend from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM. An optional extended day programme is available from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM for students from Pre-Jardín through fifth grade.

The school operates across two locations in Santiago de Cali: the original San Fernando site and a semi-rural campus in the Capri neighbourhood. Facilities include dedicated spaces for academic instruction, as well as support services such as an infirmary, a psychology department, and a cafeteria that provides lunch and snack services. The campus infrastructure is designed to support both the core curriculum and the extended day activities.

The school offers an optional extended day programme that includes sports such as football, swimming, and cheerleading, as well as arts and culture activities like painting and theatre. Academic support is provided through mathematics and reading comprehension reinforcement, alongside a tiered English language course. These activities are supported by partnerships with the Liga Valle Caucana de Natación and the Tsunami cheerleading club.
