Gimnasio de Los Cerros

Gimnasio de Los Cerros is a Catholic, male-only school that emphasizes personalized education centered on the individual. Its mission is to educate students in virtues and values within an environment of freedom and responsibility, with a strong focus on the partnership between the school and parents. The school also promotes environmental awareness, solidarity, and a commitment to serving others.

The school offers a bilingual curriculum structured across Early Years, Middle Years, and Upper Years. It is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, which facilitates internationalization and prepares students for global opportunities. The academic approach, known as the 'Método Cerros,' balances conceptual knowledge with project-based and experiential learning, tailored to the unique character and development of each student.

The school employs a mentorship system to provide personalized support to students. This approach involves regular communication and quarterly interviews between mentors, group directors, and parents to establish and coordinate individual improvement plans for each student.

The admissions process begins with an inquiry form, followed by a scheduled visit to the campus to learn about the educational project and tour the facilities. Families must then complete the enrollment process, which includes submitting required documentation and paying the registration fee. The school also maintains a scholarship fund to support families experiencing extreme economic difficulties.

The school operates on a 'Calendario B' schedule. The academic year includes ongoing events and activities, with specific information managed through the school's institutional calendar.

The campus is located in Bogotá and features specialized facilities including science laboratories, a technology lab, a library, and dedicated music and art rooms. Sports infrastructure includes a coliseum, a synthetic field, tennis courts, and a climbing wall. Additionally, the school provides a dedicated building for younger students (Transición to third grade) called 'The Children's Forest,' as well as a chapel, a school-operated restaurant, and various social spaces like a snack lounge and multiple patios.

The school offers a range of extracurricular activities designed to foster the development of students outside the classroom. These include sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and climbing, as well as creative pursuits like music, arts, and media production through the school's radio cabin and video studio.
