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).
From the classroom to the corporate world 🌎✨
In this episode, one of our CGB alumni shares how he now works remotely from Colombia for a U.S.-based company — and how the skills, mindset, and global perspective he developed at CGB shaped his professional journey. 💼🌍
Confidence. Communication. Adaptability.
An international education that doesn’t just prepare you for exams — it prepares you for the world.
Would you work for a global company from anywhere in the world? 👀

Friendship, laughter, and a few surprise roses 🌹💛
This Valentine’s Day, our Student Council reminded us that school is more than classes — it’s shared moments, inside jokes, supportive friends, and memories that last far beyond the classroom. 💌✨
Through roses and handwritten messages, students celebrated the people who make their school days brighter. Because sometimes, friendship is the real love story.
Tag your school bestie — the one who makes every day better 💫
