Private & international schools in Cali

Compare the two Pance addresses and the child's actual division

Colegio Bolívar's early-childhood page gives Calle 5 No. 122-21, Vía Pance. The IB's August 2026 Cali event page identifies Colegio Colombo Británico at Avenida La María, Carrera 125, No. 10-51, Pance. The event has already taken place; its published venue supplies address context rather than an upcoming open day or an admissions appointment.

Use each address to arrange a division-specific visit and ask about the offered classroom, arrival gate and pickup arrangements. A shared Pance neighbourhood does not establish one transport service or sibling timetable. At Bolívar, the El Nido visit should address a younger child's settling and daily routine; a high-school visit should include the subject and graduation discussion appropriate to that pupil.

Separate early-childhood philosophy, school diplomas and AP

Bolívar's El Nido page describes Reggio Emilia inspiration for children from 18 months to four years. It distinguishes groups for children who turn two, three or four during the school year. Its main admissions description separately refers to Kinder 4–Grade 12. Ask which El Nido group or school class is being considered rather than using the main-school starting label to exclude younger provision.

Bolívar's high-school page places its dual Colombian and United States diploma pathway in Grades 9–12. It separately describes AP courses and AP Capstone recognition. CCB's school-finder row lists PYP, MYP and Diploma. Request the local grade boundaries and the individual senior plan: a school diploma, AP examination and full IB Diploma have different completion requirements, and an advanced course label does not determine later university credit.

Bring the previous programme to the admissions review

Bolívar's published process moves from an initial form and visit to an application, supporting documents and application-fee payment before evaluation. The Admissions Office reviews the file and then communicates next steps. That sequence helps a family prepare the child's actual educational history; payment or a campus visit should not be read as the final class decision.

For a transfer, ask how completed English and Spanish study, reports and senior subjects fit the receiving programme. At CCB, the authoriser's programme row does not supply an individual birthday cutoff, language-support assessment or permission to join a Diploma course midway. Request those decisions directly, plus a dated quote separating tuition, initial charges, required support and examinations. Compare the offered phase and year rather than an unconfirmed headline total.

These are the pathways recorded for each included campus. Online provision appears separately. A senior qualification does not establish provision in younger years.
