Professional Development
Los Nogales has a comprehensive, high-level curriculum aligned with developing 21st century skills, both academic and for life outside of school, such as teamwork, communication skills, investigation, “learning to learn,” and a solid values education. In conjunction with this comprehensive curriculum, the school has a Department of Professional Development (DPD) that ensures that teachers at Colegio Los Nogales are constantly updated on teaching practices in accordance with the school’s principles and objectives, in addition to sharing and communicating best practices with other teachers and schools in Colombia.
