What we offer

We offer a space of freedom and learning, we develop the skills and abilities of each student from our model of differentiated education, in addition to enhancing their knowledge with a system of internationalization led by the International Baccalaureate. We also offer facilities, services and human support of the best possible quality in a large ecological campus within the city of Bogota.

Institutional characteristics

We have 8 characteristics that support our educational model and make us one of the best institutions in Bogotá.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION

Opus Dei is an institution of the Catholic Church, made up of men and women, which helps to find God in work, in family life and in all other ordinary activities. Opus Dei gives this orientation to the values we live as an educational community. This is materialized in the life of the school by striving to study and work well, taking care of details and dedication to the family.

PERSONALIZED EDUCATION

Our Educational Project is centered on the person and considers him/her unique and free. For this reason, our curriculum respects and develops the character and abilities of each person.
Personalized Education

CERROS LEARNING METHODOLOGY

Each person learns differently and has different motivations, therefore, the process in and out of the classroom must respond to these differences. At the school there is a balance between conceptual, project-based and experiential learning. This is the Cerros method.

FAMILY-SCHOOL UNION

Parents are the first and foremost educators of their children. The school is permanently interested in understanding their vision and they, in turn, are grateful to know the teachers' impression of their children's formative process. For this reason, the group director and the mentor hold quarterly interviews with them in order to jointly set accurate and coordinated objectives in the structuring of the student's improvement plan.
As parents have the greatest impact on their children, they need to be trained to better guide them. To this end, the school facilitates their participation in specific programs designed especially for this purpose.

INTERNATIONALIZATION

In a world with strong social, cultural and economic exchanges, it is necessary to develop social integration skills among citizens of multiple nationalities.

TRAINING IN SOLIDARITY

A full personal life involves the positive development of the environment and those around us, especially those most in need. At Cerros we impact multiple groups in society and, in our interaction with them, we encourage the habit of solidarity in each of the people in the educational community.

LOCATION

The urban and natural surroundings of the school form an ecosystem that is well suited for the well-being of the community.

PHYSICAL PLANT

The school's architecture is an expression of its values. Our facilities favor and enhance training, learning and school coexistence.

Frequently Asked Questions

In addition, each student has, from the moment he/she joins the school, a mentor who accompanies him/her and helps him/her throughout his/her school career.

Why differentiated education?

At Los Cerros we are committed to differentiated education as a way to make the personalization of education a reality, attending to our students according to their needs and characteristics. In this way, we promote an educational model that caters to the differences of each person in order to achieve a higher academic performance, a more complete and balanced personal development, and a real equality of opportunities.

It is one more educational option that enriches the freedom of education and the plurality of options available to families when choosing the type of education they prefer for their children. It has been adopted by countries such as Germany, the United States and Australia with the aim of improving academic and training results.
