WHAT MAKES OUR SCHOOL SO SPECIAL?
-
Where the World Meets to Learn
At CGB, you and your family will feel right at home in a warm, inclusive, and truly international community. With more than 50 nationalities making up 75% of our students, your child will grow up surrounded by diversity, open-mindedness, and global friendships. -
A Safe Place to Grow
Your child’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. With strong safeguarding policies and our No Bully Zone, you can be confident that your child will always feel protected, supported, and valued at CGB. -
Three Diplomas — One Global Future
At CGB, your child’s education opens doors worldwide. Thanks to our dual international accreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), your child can graduate with three diplomas — the International Baccalaureate Diploma, US High School Diploma, and Colombian High School Diploma.
-
English First, Excellence Always
You can be sure your child will learn in an environment where English is taught as a first language by internationally qualified, native-speaking teachers. This guarantees authentic communication, strong academic performance, and confidence in every setting. -
A Global Curriculum with Local Roots
Your child will follow an internationally recognised curriculum while learning Spanish and Colombian Social Studies at levels that meet their needs — helping them connect deeply with Colombia while keeping a global perspective. -
Learning Beyond the Classroom
At CGB, your child’s day goes far beyond academics. Our innovative Co-Curricular Activities and Performing Arts programmes — offered during the school day — nurture creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong love of learning.
WELCOME FROM OUR DIRECTOR
Dear CGB Community,
It is with heartfelt excitement, deep gratitude, and immense pride that I introduce myself as the new Director at Colegio Gran Bretaña. My name is Joe Jalil Hover, and it is truly a privilege to be joining this exceptional community at such an inspiring and dynamic time. Becoming a part of the CGB family—a school celebrated for its excellence, inclusivity, and innovation—is a true honour.
The Academic Year 2025–2026 promises to be one of growth, discovery, and continued achievement. Together, we will take important steps toward realising our ambitious five-year vision, offering transformative opportunities that empower our students to become kind, confident, and capable global citizens. I am deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment of this community to differentiation, inclusion, and safeguarding—values that lie at the very heart of our mission.
Colegio Gran Bretaña is a highly prestigious, private, co-educational, international school (Nursery – Year 13) serving a predominately expatriate population representing more than 50 nationalities.
CGB follows the Northern Hemisphere Calendar from August to June (Calendar B).

🌍 What’s completely normal in your country but surprising everywhere else? 🤔
From unique foods and traditions to everyday habits, our students share some of the things that are perfectly normal where they come from—but might seem a little unusual to others!
