Our History The institution was founded as Escuela Maternal Elisita, a non-profit organization in 1987 in a place located at Carrera 12 No. 12-54, formed by a group of twelve students under the care of experts such as doctors, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists and preschool educators. It was created and started working in the city of Santa Marta, in order to provide working mothers with education and care for their children; therefore, the operation of the school depended on their work schedule. Taking into account that the Nursery School levels correspond to non-formal education and due to the wide coverage of the preschool level (Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Transition), and the Primary Basic level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th), which belongs to formal education, it was necessary to change its name to Elisita Nursery School, which was approved by Resolution 176 of August 8, 1996. Years later the nursery school operates in its own building located in Barrio Bavaria 26 A Street No. 8-56; carrying out the foundations, objectives and purposes of the General Law of Education; complying fairly and harmoniously with the precepts issued by the MEN about forming people in accordance with the neo millennial demands that our society needs. Currently, according to the demands of today's society and as a result of the EFQM Quality certification process, initiated in 2010, the educational institution proposed changes and innovations approved by the Board of Directors of the same, expanding school coverage; Implementing Secondary Basic Education; starting in 2012 with the sixth and seventh grades; and consequently, the modification of the corporate name, shield and anthem of the school. Adopting the name of COLEGIO BILINGUAL ELISA DIAZGRANADOS SAS, starting in 2012.

Why are we bilingual? The Elisa DiazGranados SAS Bilingual School aims to engage students in an English language learning process that involves all five components (listening, reading, writing, monologue, and conversation) beginning in preschool, gradually leading them to a high level of performance by the end of high school. Achieving this requires a high level of commitment from all three educational levels: teacher, student, and parent. Furthermore, students are expected to perform well on state and international tests, so emphasis is placed on text comprehension and training for these tests starting in the first grade of primary school. The CBEDG stands out for its commitment to educational excellence, offering its students opportunities to strengthen their skills in a second language through strategic agreements for bilingualism such as the UNOi system. In addition, it integrates the use of innovative digital platforms (Richmond Learning Platform, Cloud Labs STEM or Habilmind) that enrich the learning process, allowing interactive education adapted to the needs of the 21st century, promoting the development of key skills for a globalized world with the training of bilingual entrepreneurial citizens.
