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).

🎓✨ The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived.
We celebrate not only the graduation of our Year 13 students, but also the incredible journey that has brought them to this milestone. Their hard work, resilience, friendships, achievements, and unforgettable memories have shaped them into the remarkable young adults they are today.
We could not be prouder of everything they have accomplished and of the exciting paths that lie ahead. As they take this next step toward their futures, they do so carrying the values, experiences, and spirit of CGB with them.
While this chapter comes to an end, they will always remain part of our community. No matter where in the world life takes them, CGB will always be their home. 💙🏡
Congratulations, Class of 2026. Your journey is just beginning, and we cannot wait to see all that you will achieve. 🌟

Different countries. Different flags. One impossible football question. 🌍⚽
We asked our international students who their favorite player is… and let’s just say the debate got VERY serious. 👀🔥
From football legends to unexpected answers, this might be the most international World Cup conversation at CGB. 🌎✨
So… who do YOU think is the best player? We’re reading the comments 👇@

🍫✨ From cocoa bean to chocolate bar!
Our Primary students became chocolatiers for the day and discovered the entire chocolate-making process from scratch. From learning where chocolate comes from to creating their own delicious treats, every step was filled with curiosity, creativity, and plenty of sweet moments.
A hands-on experience that was as educational as it was delicious! 😍🍫
Now we need to know… what’s your favorite chocolate? 👀👇
