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).
Today, our community came together for a truly meaningful Health Brigade 💙
We had the honor of welcoming children from Cazucá to our campus, where a team of dedicated volunteers provided medical care, support, and smiles across different stations — from dental and vision check-ups to ENT care, hair styling, and more.
This day is a reminder that small actions can create a lasting impact. Beyond the services, it’s about connection, empathy, and the power of coming together to care for others.
Thank you to every volunteer, student, and staff member who made this possible.
Together, we make a difference ✨
