We are an exemplary educational community
that shapes agents of change to positively impact the Planet and society.
We prepare students to face the challenges of the future through a robust learning support program that fosters their skills from the earliest years and enhances their individual talents. Our international accreditation by COGNIA places us among the top 5% of schools worldwide, ensuring quality, innovation, and a student-centered approach. In addition, through a wide range of extracurricular activities, we promote teamwork, creativity, and holistic development—strengthening not only knowledge but also the passion and character of our students.
We continuously renew and expand our facilities to provide students with an environment that enhances learning and ensures access to cutting-edge technology. We are currently developing our Master Infrastructure Plan, which includes a modern sports complex with a coliseum and covered courts, a Fine Arts and Science Center with specialized classrooms and laboratories, and a new auditorium with multimedia spaces and an exhibition hall—all designed to inspire creativity, well-being, and academic excellence.
We nurture a strong sense of belonging and collaboration where every member feels valued and supported. We promote relationships grounded in respect, care, and trust, while fostering solidarity and diversity as pillars of our collective identity. In this way, we embrace our responsibility for the well-being of the Bolívar Community and contribute to building a more just and humane society.
We believe that Deeper Learning is the foundation for students to connect knowledge with real-life experiences. This approach is strengthened by Conscious Discipline, which nurtures emotional intelligence and relationships; Innovation and Artificial Intelligence, which foster creative and responsible solutions; and Environmental and Social Sustainability, which builds awareness and commitment to the world. In this way, we prepare leaders who think critically, act with empathy, and positively transform their communities.
We aspire for the values we uphold at Colegio Bolívar, as articulated in our mission, to transcend our community and make a meaningful, positive impact on society.
We nurture a growth mindset in our students, encouraging continuous learning that empowers them to face challenges with resilience and hope.
