Our Mission

What defines us

Loyal to the purposes of its founders, Colegio Karl C. Parrish recognizes the value of every human being and his or her inalienable right to liberty, respect and personal development. In an environment of justice and equality, our Institution seeks to provide an education that encourages and enhances the development of the intellect as well as social and moral values, initially fostered at home.

As a nonprofit, private Institution, Colegio Karl C. Parrish integrates a bi-national, multicultural, and bilingual curriculum (Colombian and American) with the purposes of offering its students a broad scope of the world. Its mission is oriented towards the formation of well-rounded individuals with discerning and creative minds.

The School’s ideal is to educate responsible, confident citizens with a strong sense of ownership for their School, who are committed to the development of a just society. The School’s purpose is to prepare students to be ethical leaders who are capable of meeting global challenges and of addressing the continuous changes and demands influencing their country.

For the development of its mission, Colegio Karl C. Parrish expects the support of its parents, alumni, and professional teaching staff. The continuous collaboration of these three entities is an essential factor in providing the excellent education that has always characterized our Institution.
