Change can start with a simple conversation.
For Julio Mario Salgado, Alessandro Gaveglio, Juan Miguel Serna, and Juan Alejandro Duran, that conversation sparked something bigger than they imagined. Just before their senior year, they walked into Principal Peter Laskaris’s office with an idea and a conviction that something needed to change.
They had seen it happen too many times: math, a subject full of wonder and possibility, slowly becoming a source of fear for young kids. So they decided to step in before that fear took hold.
They called it MATUTO.
An after-school initiative built not just to teach math, but to transform the way children feel about it. Week after week, these four seniors gave their afternoons to over 50 students in grades 3 through 5, not just solving problems together, but dismantling the belief that math isn’t for them.
What makes MATUTO truly special? They hope to make it last. They want it to run long after they graduate, so that seniors keep mentoring, keep inspiring..
That’s the kind of legacy that doesn’t show up on a transcript, but it shapes a school forever.
Julio, Alessandro, Juan Miguel, and Juan Alejandro didn’t wait for change to happen. They created it. One afternoon, one student, one equation at a time. That’s not just leadership, that’s making the difference. 🧮❤️
There’s no better feeling than seeing our campus vibrant with the spirit of sportsmanship and friendship!
⚽✨🏫 It was an absolute honor to host the ACCAS Primary Soccer Festival 2026, welcoming student-athletes from across Colombia for a spectacular display of talent and teamwork.
At Colegio Granadino, we take pride in creating spaces where competition meets community, allowing our youngest players to shine and live out our motto of “Making the Difference” on and off the field.
A huge thank you to all the visiting schools, coaches, and families for making this festival an unforgettable celebration of soccer and unity. We are so proud of every player who gave their heart on the pitch!
Colombian excellence at its best! 🙌🇨🇴🌱
A special shoutout to our sponsors Electrolife and G4S for their support in making this event possible. Thank you!
🏆 MIDDLE SCHOOL BINATIONAL GAMES — BOGOTÁ | CHAMPIONS 🏆
There are no words big enough, but we’ll try. Our MS Girls’ Basketball team didn’t just play. They competed with heart, grit, and grace, and they came home with exactly what they deserved: the championship title.
From the first tip-off to the final buzzer, these young women showed what this school is made of. Every pass, every defense, every shot, earned. Every sacrifice on the court — worth it.
✨ DREAM TEAM honorees — a recognition given only to the very best in the tournament:
⭐ María Camila Arias
⭐ Martina Yepes
And our extraordinary Coach Nancy Garcés was named Best Coach of the entire tournament, because great champions are built by great leaders. Coachs Nancy, you are a force. Thank you.
A heartfelt congratulations also goes to Coach Julián Castaño, whose dedication, vision, and commitment to these athletes helped shape a team of true champions. Coach Julián, this title belongs to you too. 🙌
🎉 And in true fashion, Mr. Esch hosted a special celebratory lunch to honor these incredible athletes and their coaching staff, because champions deserve to be celebrated.
With immense pride, we recognize every single player who made this possible:

“Making the Difference" is not just a motto; it is a way of life that we practice every single day.
At Colegio Granadino, we believe that true education is about learning to serve others with an open heart and a strong sense of responsibility. Through our Granadino Solidario program, our students immerse themselves in meaningful experiences that connect them with different realities, inspiring them to become ethical leaders and compassionate citizens.
From supporting our sister schools to transforming essential community spaces, every action reflects our commitment to creating a real and sustainable social impact.
Our entire community joins forces to transform lives and build a better future together, proving that true change begins within our own community.
Thank you for being part of this beautiful purpose! 🤝❤️🌟🍃🌎🙌
💚 Pillar 2: Holistic Well-Being
Excellence isn`t just about grades. It`s about balance.
At Colegio Granadino, we`re committed to cultivating the development of mind, body, and spirit for every member of our community, because true success means thriving in all dimensions of life.
We`re not treating well-being as an add-on or an afterthought. We`re embedding it into our everyday practices, making it an essential part of who we are and how we learn.
Because when our community is healthy, balanced, and whole, that`s when real excellence emerges.
This is the second pillar of our Strategic Plan 2025-2030, and it`s at the heart of everything we do.
