Discover Avante
A meaninful and inspiring approach to education
Our History
Today’s students live in a world very different from their parents: the lifespan of education is shorter than ever, information is just a click away, 47% of the world’s jobs are at risk of being automated and most of the workers of the future will be independent. This requires a paradigm shift in education. That´s why a community of educators and local partners created AVANTE GLOBAL SCHOOL, in order to TRANSFORM education.
Avante Global School, founded in Cartagena, Colombia, in 2020, is a member of the Golden Circle Schools, the 1st Community of Schools in Colombia focused on entrepreneurship-based education, applying the highest standards in project-based learning methodologies.
is the 1st school founded with directors, infrastructure and methodology designed for project-based learning experiences.
We propose a meaninful and inspiring approach to educate our children. A project-based educational methodology, which allows children to learn by exploring the real world, discover their passions, find their purpose, and develop entrepreneurial skills.
