R// At Colegio Jefferson we receive children from the age of 4, the age at which they enter our first level (Kinder 4). Similarly, we also have the Early Admission program that allows parents to separate the quota for their children from before the age of 4, including during pregnancy, and thus ensure it for when the time comes to start school life. . This process offers the following benefits:
At 4 years old is when children reach the development that allows them to accept and be part of the proposals, dynamics and demands of a large school. At this age, at Colegio Jefferson, we begin with the approach to different areas of knowledge such as mathematics, science, English, Spanish, art, physical education and swimming, through a game and metaphor methodology, always guided by a bilingual proposal. in which they receive from the first level approximately 30 hours a week in English. In addition, from the development of the being, we work so that they advance in their independence, recognize their possibilities, those of their peers and strengthen their sense of belonging by becoming a member of a very special group with which they will share for 14 years (duration of the cycle school).
From Kinder 5 (second level of the School), children are evaluated in all areas of knowledge of a large school.
Our process is very short and also adjusts to the families’ agenda (as long as it is during school hours: Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). In summary, once we receive the requested documentation, we have an estimated time of (1) month to complete all the stages of the process, which may well decrease depending on the time each family takes to complete each of the steps.
For families who come to the process after June, other institutional times must be taken into account.

That’s how it is! Our Complementary Activities Program (PAC) is part of the school day for the little ones. It is free and allows our students to explore between sports, artistic and technological activities.
Once the admission process is over, the bonding process begins where our new students and their parents have several approaches to the School before starting the school year. These spaces will give them the peace of mind they need to arrive on the first day of school.
Yes! From the age of 4 they are exposed to 30 hours/week approx. From the Middle section (4th to 6th grade) who already have their mother tongue well established and are certified by the University of Cambridge as bilingual (Spanish-English), French classes begin as a 3rd language.
In the first levels of the School, our students have 2 breaks of 20 minutes. The first includes a healthy lunch box (fruit, peanuts, cereal etc), the second a healthy sweet that gives them energy. At noon they receive lunch in the cafeteria, at a time only accompanied by their teachers. We have the Katú platform in which parents can record the value of lunches and register allergies or food restrictions to use the cafeteria service.
That’s how it is! We take into account families that come from another city, as well as families that live in Cali and are awaiting a transfer. Ask in our Admissions office!
