Dear CGB Community,
It is with heartfelt excitement, deep gratitude, and immense pride that I introduce myself as the new Director at Colegio Gran Bretaña. My name is Joe Jalil Hover, and it is truly a privilege to be joining this exceptional community at such an inspiring and dynamic time. Becoming a part of the CGB family—a school celebrated for its excellence, inclusivity, and innovation—is a true honour.
The Academic Year 2025–2026 promises to be one of growth, discovery, and continued achievement. Together, we will take important steps toward realising our ambitious five-year vision, offering transformative opportunities that empower our students to become kind, confident, and capable global citizens. I am deeply grateful for the ongoing commitment of this community to differentiation, inclusion, and safeguarding—values that lie at the very heart of our mission.
Colegio Gran Bretaña is a highly prestigious, private, co-educational, international school (Nursery – Year 13) serving a predominately expatriate population representing more than 50 nationalities.
CGB follows the Northern Hemisphere Calendar from August to June (Calendar B).
🎓✨ The Last First Day of our Seniors 2027! 💙
A day filled with excitement, pride, laughter and all the emotions that come with the beginning of the end. 🥹🔥 Our Seniors 2027 officially started their final year at CGB in the most unforgettable way!
🚙 Their grand arrival in Jeeps
🎓 The special jacket ceremony, with their parents sharing advice and words of love
🎁 A surprise from their parents on the terrace, where each Senior received a special surprise box filled with meaningful details
🔑 And the handover of their very own Senior Lounge — a space made just for them!
A new chapter has begun, and we couldn’t be prouder to share this final journey with them. 💙
Here’s to the memories, the challenges, the friendships and everything that’s still to come. Let the final year begin! 🎉
