Columbia Institute was founded in 1982 by a group of teachers with a vast experience in the field of education. Highly interested in the transmission of universal type of culture (values, habits, knowledge and information), Mrs. Theissen, Mrs. García and Mrs. Montemayor decided to undertake this task in order to serve the community.
Columbia Institute established, as, a priority, the formation of good men and women that can adjust to their environment counting on their internal resources that will allow them to be fulfilled and project all their efforts to their society for its own benefit. This would be accomplished by providing an atmosphere of appreciation, respect, and self-improvement to everyone involved in the teaching-learning process and developing a healthy self-esteem in them, etc.
Columbia wishes to develop humane, generous, creative, and enterprising men and women that shrive in the search for alternatives guided towards the common good, thus obtaining their well-being.
Columbia's staff is made up of responsible, committed and interested in constantly increasing their intellect, sensitivity and ability to adapt, innovate, and select alternatives inasmuch as obtaining academic achievements and developing their abilities.
