The Secretary of Education of Envigado certified the Colombo Britanico College -CCB-, of Envigado, as a National Bilingual Educational Establishment.
This certification was achieved after completing more than 50% of the curriculum in a foreign language, among other requirements.
This is recognition for educational institutions that use two or more languages in their educational methodology: at the CCB the second language is English (53% of the curriculum is served in this language) and the third is Portuguese, which is taught since grade 8.
In addition, the College has 54 bilingual teachers, who represent 50% of its teaching staff, and its 11th grade students annually take the IELTS, as an international foreign language exam, with very satisfactory results.
