We are GCB!!!
Historical review
In 1984, Sandra Melo, known to her beloved community as Miss Sandra and Constanza Melo started an early childhood education project that incorporated a new style of academic curriculum which allowed children whose ages ranged from 18 months and 4 years of age to learn English to levels that were above average standards for that time in Colombia. The subsequent success and the insistence of parents led to the grand opening of the Gimnasio Colombo Británico (GCB) in 1994. Following a 60-year family tradition, our founders celebrated the graduation of the first seniors from GCB in 2001. Since then, GCB has been synonymous with excellent results in the official state exam (ICFES) and being ranked as one of the 10 best schools in Colombia, achieving the top rank in 2011 and 2014.
