In 1984, Dora Ujfalussy de Garavito and her husband Antonio José Garavito Durán founded Saint Matthew School as an extension of the formative work they had developed at Grimm’s Kindergarten. For over 35 years, our school has been a benchmark of excellence in values-centred education.
We were certified by the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) in 2006 and reevaluated at the 3-Star level in 2017. Likewise, we were recognised amongst the 15 best schools in Colombia with very high scores in the Saber Tests 11.In 2017, we received the Cambridge Assessment International Education accreditation, propelling us onto the global stage with the highest standards in Science, Mathematics and English. This opened the door for Saint Matthew students to apply to the best universities in Colombia and the world.
In 2017, we became a part of the Inspired School organisation, a global network of premium schools operating in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America and educating over 31,000 students in more than 42 schools. As part of Inspired, we set a new standard in private education and share a dedication to excellence and best teaching practices to shape the global leaders of tomorrow.
