Gimnasio Moderno, Private educational institution in Chapinero Alto district, Bogotá, Colombia.
Gimnasio Moderno is a private school in Bogotá with a campus spread across multiple buildings featuring traditional architecture. The grounds include classrooms, outdoor sports areas, gardens, and assembly spaces designed for student learning and activities.
The school was founded in 1914 and introduced modern teaching methods that shaped Colombian education. This approach became a reference for how other schools approached teaching and learning.
The school hosts student performances in music, theater, and visual arts that take place throughout the year. These activities shape how students connect with one another and express themselves within the learning community.
The campus is open during school hours, typically from morning through early afternoon on weekdays. Access for visitors should be arranged in advance since this is an active learning institution.
The school operates under a system called 'disciplina de confianza' where students develop responsibility through self-regulation rather than strict rules. This approach allows young people to learn to manage their own conduct from an early age.
