Colegio Nueva Granada

CNG follows a US-style college-preparatory curriculum leading to the US High School Diploma, and Colombian students also complete the Colombian Bachillerato Académico, which requires Spanish-taught courses, social service hours and a senior research project. In High School, students can choose from around 30 College Board Advanced Placement courses, Pre-AP and honours classes, as well as dual enrollment, and may earn AP Scholar awards, the AP International Diploma or the AP Capstone Diploma. A modified diploma track is available for students who need an adapted curriculum.

English is the main language of instruction, and the school aims for full biliteracy in English and Spanish from the earliest grades. Spanish language and Colombian social studies are taught in Spanish, and Spanish-taught electives are offered to older students. Students new to Spanish can take Spanish as a New Language classes. As additional world languages, High School students can study French (up to AP French Language and Culture) and Mandarin Chinese (up to level VI and AP Chinese).

CNG is organised into four divisions. Primary School serves K4 to Grade 2, Elementary School covers Grades 3 to 5, Middle School covers Grades 6 to 8, and High School runs from Grade 9 to Grade 12. The entry grades for young children, K4 and K5, have their own admissions process. Grade placement follows the US system, with equivalent Colombian grade names shown for families.

CNG's vision centres on educating the mind, strengthening the body and developing character so that students can lead and serve. The school wants every child to reach their individual potential within a caring community that values diversity of nationality, religion and ability. Four core values, respect, integrity, responsibility and caring, are taught explicitly across classes, sport and activities. The school has no religious affiliation, but respects the beliefs of its families. Service to others and care for the environment are encouraged through hands-on projects.

After-school life is organised through Condor Activities, a co-curricular programme for K4 to Grade 12 with more than 20 options led by specialist instructors. Options include art workshops, yoga, martial arts, robotics and LEGO engineering, cooking, skating, skateboarding, parkour, sewing and jewellery making, musical instruments, ballet, dance, science experiments, biking and climbing. The athletics department runs a progressive multi-sport model from K5 to Grade 12, with varsity and junior varsity teams in sports such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. High School students also join a band, choir, rock ensembles, theatre and the annual school musical.

The campus lies at the foot of Bogotá's eastern mountains and includes separate buildings for each school division. Each division has its own library: the Elisa Vargas Library for Grades 6-12 holds more than 18,000 books in English and Spanish, and also houses two makerspaces, a recording studio for music and podcasts and a Global Learning Studio for video-connected lessons. The Primary library has a makerspace, and the Elementary library offers a craft corner and engineering area. Outdoor grounds include soccer fields, multi-sport courts and playgrounds for younger children, and a new Innovation Center is planned.

Support services are extensive. The Learning Center offers academic intervention, co-teaching, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and resource-room programmes, and the Gifted & Talented programme provides enrichment and acceleration. Counsellors support students' social and emotional well-being and university applications. A bus service is available for after-school activities, and a parent association (ASOPADRES) organises community events. Students wear a school uniform.
