We renew our commitment to quality and innovation | Cognia Accreditation and STEM Certification
Our school has, for the second consecutive time, received reaccreditation from Cognia, an international quality educational accreditation that we have held since 2019.
Additionally, we have been recognized as the first institution in Bogotá, the second in Colombia, and the fourth in Latin America to receive the prestigious STEM certification from Cognia. This represents a significant acknowledgment of our Integrated STEM Project and demonstrates the strength of our school in implementing innovative practices that directly benefit our students.
We Are the First IB School in Colombia and Latin America to Obtain STEM Certification!
Being the first IB school in Colombia and Latin America to achieve Cognia’s STEM certification reaffirms our commitment to an innovative educational project, validated by data and research, and focused on implementing best practices for the comprehensive development of our students.
With a strong track record in the continuous implementation of International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, CIEDI has successfully integrated the best IB practices with advanced STEM approaches. This combination has been optimized through strategic pedagogical alliances and collaborations with universities, reinforcing the school’s commitment to cutting-edge education.
Partnership with Major Universities
The Escuela Colombiana de Ingeniería Julio Garavito and the Universidad del Rosario are the universities with which CIEDI is advancing i-STEM Inquiry Units. The partnership includes planning and curriculum design to identify possible engineering contexts that can be simulated in their specialized laboratories.
Experiences Framed within the I-STEM Learning Approach
E5 Challenge – Energy Race is the first inter-school STEM race organized by our school. In its first edition, 4th and 5th-grade students faced the challenge of creating a human-powered vehicle or Pushcart, which was tested on speed and versatility tracks in a circuit specially designed at our school’s facilities.
