Gimnasio Moderno, located in Bogotá, was founded in 1914. The today's
institute was built in 1918 on on a plot offered by José María Samper and with
funds provided by Agustín Nieto Caballero, Rafael, Félix and José de Jesús
Salazar, Gabriel and Joaquín Camacho, Luis Eduardo Nieto, Ricardo Olano, Paulina
de Cano, Nicolás Camargo, Daniel Sáenz, Joaquín Samper, Sergio Martínez and José
María Samper. The founders belonged to the so-called "Centenary's Generation";
referring to the 100th anniversary of the independence of Colombia (1810), this
modernist movement wanted to rebuild the country destroyed by the Thousand Days
War, that had opposed the Liberals and the Conservatives in 1899-1902.
Gimnasio Moderno was thought as a "new school" free from any direct or indirect
influence of the Roman Catholic Church; quickly ranked among the best Colombian
schools, the institute was the first successful "new school" in South America.
The main promoter of Gimnasio Moderno was the educationalist Agustín Nieto
Caballero (1889-1975), who imported several modernist ideas from Europe and
North America, where he had studied and taught until 1914. He was in touch with
the most modernist educationalists of the time, for instance Ovidio Decroly,
Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget. Nieto subsequently represented Colombia in
several international conferences (for instance, at the League of Nations and
UNESCO), was a main contributor to the development of education in Colombia (for
instance, as the director of the National University), always promoting the
cultural relations between Colombia and the rest of the world. The first
director of Gimnasio Moderno (1918-1933) was Tomás Rueda Vargas (1879-1943),
also the author of historical novels and director of the Colombian National
Library.

Colegio Gimnasio Mompiano (CGM) was established in 1991 in Cartagena de
Indias (Bolívar Department), as Jardín Infantil Mompiano. CGM is named for
borough Mompiano, part of the municipality of Brescia (Italy), where the sisters
Rosa (1866-1951) and Carolina Agazzi (1870-1945) established in 1895 a
kindergarten for poor children. Rejecting any sophistication and use of
expensive material, the Agazzi sisters were progressively overshadowed by Maria
Montessori. This did not prevent their principles, developed in several books,
to spread to Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, Spain, Germany and South America.

The flag of CGM is vertically

"Colegio Montemorel" was founded on 1 October 1994
in Bogotá; classes started on 7 February 1995. In 1997, the
institute was transfered to its rural seat in the municipality of
Chía; it was recognized next year by the Department of
Cundinamarca (Decree No. 1655).
The name of the institute was formed on "monte",
"mounts", as a tribute to the Colombian mountains, and
"mora", "blackberry", a plant with a great
capacity of adaptation and production.
The flag of the institute, as shown graphically on the website
of the institute, is divided green- turquoise blue by a
SSW-NNE diagonal and charged in the middle with the emblem of the
institute placed on a white disk
The colours represent the harmony between heavens and the
natural environment, recalling the ecologic name of the college.
White represents purity and truth.
The emblem of the institute is made of a letter "M",
half blue, half green, on which walks a white silhouette. The two
parts of the "M" represent the outer and inner part of
knowledge, respectively. The outer knowledge develops the
rational skills of the left hemisphere of the brain, while the
inner knowledge relies on psychophysical strategies of human
development, involving the right part of the brain. In the middle
of the emblem is placed the essence of the process, a student
walking to self-knowledge.
