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).

From the classroom to la vie française 🇫🇷✨
Our Francophonie Week was a celebration full of language, culture, and unforgettable moments 💙
Students explored French in the most dynamic way—through games, expressions, and interactive activities that made learning come alive 🗣️🎉
And of course… we couldn’t miss the food 👀
One of the highlights? A delicious French tasting that brought everyone even closer to the culture 🥐✨
Because at CGB, learning a language is not just about words… it’s about living the experience 🌍
Which part would you have loved the most? 👇🇫🇷

From CGB to New York 🌍✨
Our students proudly represented CGB at a Model United Nations in New York with Change the World Academy 🇺🇳🗽—an unforgettable experience that challenged them to think critically, speak confidently, and lead with purpose.
At CGB, developing leadership and communication skills is at the heart of what we do 💙
And there’s nothing more powerful than giving our students opportunities that push them out of their comfort zone and allow them to truly shine ✨
We are incredibly proud of the talent, confidence, and global mindset they continue to demonstrate 🌎
