THANK YOU
MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE BECOME POSSIBLE Colegio Nueva Granada’s story has always been one of continual innovation and progressive thinking: an 83-year-old story of visionary people coming together and building a better future for others. On September 15, 2021, we celebrated 83 years of stories that have one thing in common — they began with dreams. Those dreams followed by bold action have made the seemingly impossible become possible at CNG. This spirit continues to drive us forward in our quest to provide students with a 21st-century education based on a comprehensive program that allows all students to reach their potential for excellence. We
have accomplished great dreams for more than eight decades, but we believe greater dreams still lie ahead. With a set of Board–approved priorities that are aligned with our Vision statement, “Educating the Mind, Strengthening the Body, and Developing Character for Leadership and Service in the World of Today for a Better Tomorrow”, we are committed to execute a visionary plan to “Build CNG’s Future” and achieve a profound educational and infrastructural transformation at CNG. Your generosity is leaving a lasting impact on CNG’s story. Let’s take a look at how YOU are impacting present and future generations…
