As part of our 2022–2026 Strategic Plan, Deep Learning represents Colegio Bolívar’s distinctive pedagogical approach. This model aims for the knowledge and skills developed in the classroom to transcend into real and meaningful contexts in our students’ lives.
Currently, and until June 17, the Martin Felton Library is hosting the Deep Learning and Personal Excellence Exhibition, an event that invites the Bolívar Community to discover how this approach comes to life in the classrooms of our four academic divisions.
The projects on display reveal how the development of the so-called 6Cs—communication, collaboration, character, citizenship, creativity, and critical thinking—is being promoted. These competencies are fundamental for students to thrive in a constantly changing world.
Each initiative demonstrates how students connect their learning to real and relevant situations, even in traditionally abstract areas such as mathematics. This process fosters a deeper and more lasting understanding.
In addition, the exhibition highlights the key role of teachers as learning activators. Through pedagogical provocations, they spark students’ curiosity and invite them to actively build their own knowledge.
Another essential aspect of Deep Learning is the implementation of authentic assessments. These allow students to demonstrate what they have learned in multiple ways, valuing not only their academic achievements but also their motivations, attitudes, and processes.
The importance of promoting student voice and choice also becomes evident. This autonomy makes a significant difference: students can decide how to showcase their learning, collaborating with their teachers on projects that align with their interests, passions, and aspirations.
The exhibited work shows that skills are strengthened through effort, perseverance, and a love of learning. All of this contributes to fostering a growth mindset that prepares our students to pursue ambitious goals.
At its core, this exhibition reflects how Colegio Bolívar cultivates the graduate profile: young individuals with character, capable of transferring what they’ve learned beyond the classroom, acting as agents of change, and moving forward with a resilient and proactive attitude toward today’s challenges.
Finally, the exhibition showcases how this pedagogical approach aligns with the school’s four strategic goals: Personal Best, Innovation, Wellbeing, and Sustainability—reinforcing the coherence of all our institutional actions.
We warmly invite you to visit the exhibition and see first-hand how Deep Learning is translated into concrete, transformative, and deeply meaningful experiences for our students.
