Our Next Dream: A Cutting-Edge, 5-Story Innovation Center

Visionary People Coming Together To Build A Better Future For Others

Our 85 -Year Story Colegio Nueva Granada’s story has always been one of continual innovation and progressive thinking - a long year history of visionary people coming together and building a better future for others. We have 85 years of stories that have one thing in common: they began with dreams. Those dreams followed by 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 holistic approach focused on mind, body, and character.

We have accomplished great dreams for more than eight decades, but we believe greater dreams still lie ahead. With a set of Boardapproved 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 creating a bold plan to Build CNG’s Future - a plan to achieve a profound educational and physical transformation at CNG. We invite you to join us as we build an even stronger CNG, one that will generate inspiring and transforming stories for generations to come.

Our first group of donors made CNG possible. Shell Petroleum Company, Tropical Oil Company, Bank of London, and The Royal Bank of Canada, amongst others, made the impossible become possible. You too can help us build a better CNG. Share our dreams and our vision, and help us start “Building CNG’s Future” TODAY!

“BUILDING CNG’S FUTURE” CAMPAIGN The “Building CNG’s Future” Campaign is a precedent-setting comprehensive capital campaign that offers numerous opportunities to participate in creating a transforming and lasting legacy for our students, faculty, alumni, and school families.

WHY DO WE NEED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES? CNG’s annual tuition only covers operational costs, and the Ministry of Education caps annual increases.

Every 100 pesos received in tuition is spent in the following way:

Salaries and Benefits

77%

Infrastructure and Maintenance Educational Materials General Activities

14% 6%
