The Anglo Colombian School (Colegio Anglo-Colombiano in Spanish) is an elite private school in Bogota, Colombia and is one of Colombia's most expansive schols. The Colegio Anglo-Colombiano has been an IB World School since February 1980. It offers the full International Baccalaureate Organization programmes: the IB Primary Years Programme, IB Middle Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme. The Anglo Colombian School offers an extremely ample variety of IB Diploma subjects, including: English A and B, Spanish A and B, French B, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Geography, History, Philosophy, Design Technology, Information Technology in a Global Society (ITGS), Computer Science, Mathematics, Mathematical Studies (only Standard Level), Visual Arts, Music, Film and Theatre. The School was established by a renowned group of Colombian and British private citizens (including four previous ambassadors) inspired by the principles of traditional British education, including the time-honoured house system. It considered a very traditional school in Bogota and is one of the only schools that continue the British tradition of formal uniform. The uniform is composed of a dark green tie with stripes the colour of the house to which the student belongs, a white shirt, a dark green blazer and grey trousers (skirts for girls). It holds a very strict policy regarding grade repetition and discipline in general. Additionally, the majority of the classes are in English and the staff is composed of both foreign and Colombian teachers. The Colegio Anglo Colombiano also offers a large variety of extracurricular activities, ranging from Karate to Piano and from Olympic sports to Ballet. The school belongs to the Uncoli Organization. The Uncoli is a union of international schools in Bogota. They are the governing body of all inter-school competitions and provide the organizational support for sporting, academic and artistic events among the schools. As its sport facilities are very diverse and appropriate for big events, it is often chosen to host Uncoli tournaments. The school theatre: "Centro Cultural William Shakespeare" (William Shakespeare Cultural Centre), located in the school campus, contains 551 seats, of which 321 can be retracted in order to provide a much bigger stage. The theatre is used to hold big assemblies or conferences, the annual dance choreography competitions and any other school events that may require such conditions. Occasionally the school grants permission for outside (not related to the school) events to be hosted in the theatre, as it is one of Bogota's biggest and most well-equipped theatres. ==House system== These are the corresponding naval officers and colours for each of the houses: Additionally, there's a fifth house, DRAKE (after Sir Francis Drake), reserved for alumni. Drake members will usually not vie directly with actual students in competition events. These events involve dance (organized choreography) competitions, debates, academic decathlons, sports day, creative writing and poetry composition contests and overall academic performance of students. The house that wins the most events is announced at the end of the school year. This allows for students to develop teamwork skills and unity towards their house since they are young. The anglocolombian schol hosts one of the most important MUN conferences among with Colegio Nueva Granada called UMUn, held on Hotel Tequendama. In this conference, schools from all Colombia have important participation such as Colegio San Carlos, Gimnacio los Caobos, Colegio los Nogales, among many others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anglo Colombian School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
