The Fundación Educativa Rochester (FER) is a non-profit organization whose social investment model is philanthropy, and its purpose is to positively impact and inspire society through the design and management of environmental and social projects in Colombia. FER was constituted in 2011 and focuses on three lines of work: Conservation, Education, and Solidarity; it collaborates with Colegio Rochester and other entities. In 2014, FER signed an agreement of intent with the Unidad de Planeación Minero Energética (UPME). In 2017, FER implemented the bilingual project Inglés para Fusca for 48 primary students, launched the environmental project Siembra Árboles, Siembra Vida (12,200 trees), and started the Aliados 10 project in Chía, Cartagena, Santa Calina, and the Atlántico region. In 2021, a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Ministry of Environment.
The Rochesterian Partnerships project unites the Colegio Rochester, parents, and alumni to promote the products or services each develops, generating added value for the entire community and creating opportunities for all. A long-standing network of relationships is leveraged to build alliances and agreements that support the businesses and ventures of community members. The mission is to provide benefits that allow the community to increase its reach, reduce costs, and establish new contacts, while the vision is to promote the link between community companies to generate value and mutual benefit. Members can join the partnerships to contribute to a collaborative network.
Colegio Rochester is a co-educational, multilingual school with international accreditation, serving students aged 4 to 17. It uses a bespoke Curriculum B (August to June) that prioritizes learning through relationships and collaboration to develop competencies, attitudes, and values for life, with social-emotional development. Students become bilingual in English and Spanish, with listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. The program covers mathematics for problem solving and includes music, visual arts, dance, and theatre, with integrated motor coordination. Scientific thinking is developed through the natural and social sciences and computing to solve real-world problems, with a focus on service to others and optional Catholic sacraments. University preparation spans eight semesters, with English targets C1-C2 for TOEFL IBT, CELPE-BRAS or DELF-DALF at B2-C1, Saber 11 A+, and 11th-grade capstone project. The 28,500 m2 campus is LEED Platinum certified, featuring Apple Laboratories and a Learning Resources Center with 18,000 books, plus professional sport facilities.
