The students of San José School, from Kinder 4 to 1st Grade, had their encounters with Christ during the first semester of the 2024-2025 school year. Kindergarten took place on the Campus, while Transition and 1st Grade were held at Casa Santa María del Mar, which the school owns in Santa Verónica (Atlántico). It was an opportunity to strengthen the students’ inner life and associate God and Jesus with a joyful experience, as that friendly God who wants us to be happy. It was also a moment to raise awareness of their identity as individuals, using Jesus of Nazareth as a model. Furthermore, they learned that they are created in God’s image, to give and receive love, expressing it in their homes, at school, and with their friends. The encounters were led by the Campus Minister for Cycles I and II, Mr. Reinaldo Valera Iglesias, along with the rest of the Campus Ministry team, the group companions and co-teachers. Additionally, as primary educators and guides in the children’s moral education, a group of parents participated. San José School congratulates the students who experienced this with generous hearts and continue to open their lives to God’s love.

By: Marina Dugand González, Coordinadora de Global Education – Colegio San José Diana Quintero Acosta, Comunicadora y Promotora Institucional – Colegio San José Learn about Emily Berdejo Guardiola’s Incredible Exchange Experience! Emily, a Learning Cycle V (Semestralización) student at Colegio San José, spent her July 2024 vacation on an exciting exchange program at a prestigious university in Toronto, Canada (University of Toronto). At Colegio San José, we’re proud to provide our students with global opportunities that help shape them into true global citizens. Emily says: “I want to share with you the joy and gratitude I feel after having lived the wonderful experience of this Summer Camp in Canada. Spending time on the University of Toronto campus, taking classes, and improving my English has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. This experience not only allowed me to improve my English, reaching an advanced level as the only Colombian student, but it also taught me valuable lessons in coexistence, adaptation, and time and money management in an international environment. I learned about different cultures, embraced diversity, and experienced the city in a way I will never forget. All mornings were dedicated to classes, and the afternoons to excursions, which helped me get to know the city of Toronto better and make lasting friendships. I am deeply grateful to Colegio San José, which, from the very beginning, prepared me to make the most of this opportunity, as well as to God and my family for their unconditional support. Without a doubt, I would repeat this experience, and I feel enormously grateful for everything I’ve learned and experienced.” Watch Emily’s video. Click on image:

The results of the visit are very satisfactory and they guide us all in the search for integral excellence in each of the different aspects of the formation proposal that we offer as a Jesuit School in the Caribbean Region. We will be receiving the official report from NEASC in six weeks and there we will have a concrete tool to continue organizing our path towards accreditation. I value significantly the effort of everyone in all the departments of the school and I know that this path we are traveling will lead us through different stages to the daily awareness of our work in a school of the Society of Jesus.
