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 classrooms to future campuses around the world… our Year 13 students are officially one step away from graduation. 🎓✨
We couldn’t be prouder of everything they have achieved and of the incredible paths they are about to begin. From engineering to arts, medicine to business, each dream represents years of hard work, passion, and determination. 💙
This is only the beginning of something amazing.

What started as an International Day celebration became something much bigger… a new beginning for two families in Usme. 🏠💙
This Saturday, CGB families and staff came together not just to build houses, but to build hope, opportunities, and unforgettable memories. Every hand that helped, every smile shared, and every moment lived reminded us of the incredible impact a community can have when it comes together for others.
Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time, energy, and hearts to make this possible. These are the moments that truly change lives. ✨
Because sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness become someone else’s biggest blessing.

Behind every achievement, every smile, and every dream… there’s a mom cheering the loudest. 💙✨
Today we celebrate the love, strength, and endless support of all the amazing moms in our community. Thank you for being our safe place, our biggest inspiration, and the heart behind every step we take. 🌷
Happy Mother’s Day!

They may not always stand in front of the classroom, but they shape our school experience every single day. 💙✨
From a smile in the hallway to the support that changes someone’s entire day, today our students celebrated the staff members who leave a lasting impact on their lives.
This is more than appreciation… it’s gratitude for the people who make CGB feel like home.

Part 2!! From China to Colombia… a whole new world 🌍✨
After 15 years studying in China, she arrived at CGB with questions, doubts… and a lot of courage 💭💙
A new culture, new people, a new language—everything felt different at first.
But step by step, she found support, friendship, and a place to belong 🌎✨
Today, her story is one of growth, confidence, and discovering the beauty of a global community.
Because at CGB, you don’t just adapt… you thrive 💫
What would be the hardest part for you? 👀👇
