The history of our schools

Adventist education in the Northern Colombian Union began in 1901 with the founding of the Adventist Model School in San Andrés Island by Theodore Robinson. In 1965, the school moved to the Sprat Bight sector, where it operated in a wooden building and later in a concrete one built in the 70s. Due to increased demand, which reached 1683 students in the 90s, a new campus was inaugurated in Bahía del Cove on February 8, 1993, relocating 1300 students.
