The school is a place of innovative education with an openness to its international identity, offering a Colombian-Italian double diploma. It places particular attention on Italy and Europe, the North American world, and Asia. It educates girls, boys, and young people with a solid, strong, structured personality, so they can be builders of the new society in their country and in the world today. It is founded on the pedagogical realism of Monseñor Luigi Giussani, a prominent Italian educator who died in 2005, whose educational movement remains present through works across five continents. It has formulated the VOLTA METHOD, whose effectiveness has positioned Volta among the best schools in Colombia for many years.
Gimnasio Alessandro Volta is a Bogotá-based Italian school offering a bilingual Colombian-Italian diploma with a complete program from early years to upper secondary. The Volta Method emphasizes excellence and inclusion, pairing Italian and Colombian regulations to deliver Scuola dell'Infanzia through Scuola Secondaria di Secondo Grado. English is taught to CEFR levels C1-C2 and treated as language, literature, and culture to prepare students for Anglophone study worldwide. The curriculum combines Italian instruction delivered via videoconferences from Italy with three languages—Spanish, Italian, and English—across all levels, and provides both Colombian and Italian diplomas at graduation, enabling study in Italy or Colombia. Students participate in extensive international exposure, including videoconferences with Italian professors, collaboration with an Italian scientific committee, and exchanges with Italy plus study trips to Ireland. The campus network includes a Bogotá Usaquén campus and the Centro Giulio Natta innovation center in Meta, with a 1:7 teacher-student ratio and 390 pupils.
