Another blog shows the flag as horizontally divided white-green with the institute's emblem in the middle: http://fabioxih3.blogspot.fr. The mountain represented on the emblem must be the Nevado del Tolima volcano (5,215 m). The Latin motto "Feriam sidera vertice" comes from Horace's Odes (I:1 The Dedication : To Maecenas), reading "My head will be raised to touch the stars".

There is, however, no evidence that the flag is actually used with the emblem. Photos taken during an official ceremony shows the flag without the emblem.

image by Ivan Sache, 9 November 2010

Colegio San Tarsicio, located in Bogotá, was founded on 13 February 1961 by Ernesto Solano and Cecilia Restrepo de Carrizosa. The institute is named for the early Christian martyr St. Tarcisius (3rd century, only known to us by a poem written by Pope Damasus I).
The symbols of Colegio San Tarsicio are described in the institute's "Proyecto Educativo Institucional" (PEI - Institutional Education Project), as follows:
Chapter 1. Fundamental principles.
[...]
1.8.3. Flag.
The flag of the institute is based on the papal flag, whose colors are white and yellow. White means clarity, limpidity, truth; this color, which assimilates and reflects all the other ones, which is the color of the host, and which symbolizes the Eucharist, shall be placed above everything. Dark [lit. "burned"] yellow means life, sun, force, power, energy, maturity, harvest. These two stripes, white and yellow, are separated by a coffee brown stripe symbolizing the soil, the space where we live, our universe; on the white stripe in the left part, the institute's coat of arms, which is made with the same three colors.

1.8.4. Coat of arms.
Inspired by a German stamp representing St. Tarcisio, designed by the noted religious artist K. Beuron. With a triangular shape and symbolizing the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the triangle: the chalice and the Saint Host surrounded by rays. In the middle, the letters [chrism] meaning "Jesus, Hostia Santa". In the base "San Tarsicio": Martyr of the Eucharist.

image by Ivan Sache, 21 September 2018

Colegio San Viator was established in February 1963 in Tunja (Boyacá Department) by the Clerics of Saint Viator, a congregation founded in France in 1831 by Father Louis Querbes (1793-1859). The Viatorians were introduced from the US to Colombia on 29 September 1961 by Cardinal Luis Concha Córdoba (1891-1975), Archbishop of Bogotá (1959-1972).
http://www.sanviatortunja.edu.co/
School website

The institutional flag of Colegio San Viator is composed of three diagonal stripes, blue, white and red, charged in the center of the white section with the school's coat of arms.

The colors evoke the French flag, recalling that the congregation of the Clerics of Saint Viator was founded in France, and the US flag, recalling that the Viatorians who founded the school came from the US. The ascending diagonals are a symbol of commitment and excellence guided by the principles of the Gospel. Blue represents introspection, whose fruits are connected with knowledge, tranquillity and sincerity. White represents kindness, optimism and nobleness. Red represents energy and vitality shared by the students and teacher, as well as the human values of the whole community.

The coat of arms is made of a shield divided into three quarters per pairle inverted, referring to one God in three Divine Persons. Each quarter bears one of the school's colors. The upper left quarter, blue, is charged with a red lion and a white fleur-de-lis, taken from the coat of arms of the town of Lyon, cradle of the Viatorians. The lion rampant represents fighting spirit and Christ as the Lion of Judah. The fleur-de-lis is connected to the mission and influence of the Christian religion in the Western world, and a symbol of the nobleness of the Viatorians' achievements. The upper right quarter, white, is charged with a double-headed eagle symbolizing the town of Tunja. The lower quarter, red, is charged with the coat of arms of the Clerics of Saint Viator, made of the letters "IHS" (Jesus Hominum Salvato; Jesus, Saviour of men) surrounded by the motto "Sinite parvulos venire ad me” (Let the little children come to me; Matthew 19:14), the whole surrounded by a crown of thorns recalling Christ's passion and death. Beneath the shield a scroll inscribed with the school's name; above it, a burning torch representing knowledge, truth and the Roman Catholic faith.
