Colegio Bolívar Cali

Colegio Bolívar, founded in Cali in 1947, is one of Colombia's most prestigious American international schools and the leading international school in the Valle del Cauca region. Serving over 1,200 students from preschool through Grade 12, Colegio Bolívar provides a rigorous bilingual English-Spanish American curriculum leading to the US High School Diploma. The school is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS/AdvancED) and holds IB World School authorization for the Diploma Programme. For over 75 years, Colegio Bolívar has served Cali's international business community — particularly families from the sugar, food processing, and manufacturing sectors — alongside Colombian families who value the school's American educational tradition. The school offers robust college counseling support, with graduates regularly admitted to Ivy League, top US, and leading Colombian universities. The campus features state-of-the-art science labs, performing arts facilities, sports fields, a swimming pool, and a technology innovation center. Colegio Bolívar's diverse student body of over 40 nationalities creates a truly cosmopolitan learning community in Colombia's second-largest industrial city.
