Gimnasio del Norte International School is a bilingual IB World School in Colombia for students aged 3–18. It delivers the IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) with emphasis on the IB learner profile and inquiry-based learning. Diploma examinations are externally assessed and can be taken in Spanish, French or English; the DP requires the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS, and a minimum of 24 points. Founded in 1977 by Principal Director Ricardo Pérez Arciniegas, the school has grown with IB partnerships. The campus comprises 120,000 square metres of gardens and sport facilities, including eight football fields, three covered arenas and over 60 venues, plus green spaces for outdoor learning. The IB-aligned language policy makes Spanish the mother tongue and English an additional language taught from age seven, with English integrated across the curriculum. Extracurricular activities include robotics, music and chess, such as MADD Show and a school radio initiative.
