Colegio Jordán de Sajonia

Colegio Jordán de Sajonia (English: Jordan of Saxony School; Latin: Schola Jordanus de Saxonia), is a private Catholic elementary, secondary and preparatory school located in Bogotá, D.C., Colombia. The bilingual school was founded on February 1, 1954 by Alberto E. Ariza, a Dominican Friar. La historia y actividad educativa del Colegio Jordán de Sajonia se remonta a comienzos del siglo pasado, cuando los frailes dominicos lograron restaurar varias de sus casas, conventos, parroquias e instituciones educativas, tras la clausura realizada por el gobierno de Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera y organizar nuevamente la Provincia de Colombia, junto a la Virgen de Chiquinquirá y al santuario. Allí se funda un centro de estudios denominado “Escuela Apostólica San Vicente Ferrer”, el cual en 1947 fue trasladado a Villa de Leyva, para regresar nuevamente a Chiquinquirá. El seminario fue inaugurado el 2 de febrero de 1954, albergando en su momento a 98 seminaristas, con el carácter de internado y centrado en su formación apostólica, bajo la rectoría de Fr. José de Jesús Sedano, O.P. En el año 1968 empiezan a recibir estudiantes externos, cambiando parte del plan de estudios, dejando asignaturas de la formación de los seminaristas solamente para ellos y dando apertura a la formación académica propia de la educación primaria y media. Han sido casi setenta años de historia, en los cuales los Dominicos han formado niños, niñas y jóvenes desde un proyecto basado en la formación integral y el pensamiento crítico. Setenta años en los cuales el colegio ha tenido transformaciones que van a la vanguardia de los procesos educativos y tecnológicos. Los cambios en términos de la infraestructura inicial han sido bastantes, la mayoría de estos centrados en la necesidad de adecuación y construcción de nuevos espacios para el desarrollo de las actividades académicas y lúdicas de los estudiantes, así como de las zonas comunes como restaurante y cafetería, teniendo en cuenta además que el número de estudiantes aumenta con frecuencia, lo que permite proyectar la construcción de un nuevo edificio para albergar a los niños y niñas de preescolar. ver más
