Colegio Parroquial Emaús was established in Medellín (Antioquia Department)
on 17 April 1995 by the priest of the parish of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,
Jorge Alberto Galeano Buitrago (d. 2001), with the administrative support of
Iván Salazar Duque (d. 2009). Colegio Parroquial Emaús took over in 2004 the
school established in 2000 by the priest of the parish of La Pasión (Nuevo
Horizonte borough), Luís Emilio Flórez Buitrago.
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided white-blue with the
institute's coat of arms in the middle. White means the search for social
interaction based on values. Blue is an elegant, serious, joyous, safe, and
tranquil colour. It is a symbol of intelligence, knowledge, and deep truth. This
colour represents the great munificence of the Creation and is a Marian allegory.

The coat of arms of the institute features:
- a shield vertically divided white and blue. These Marian colours recall the
strong connection between the institute and the parish. The style of the shield
is borrowed form the arms of the Medellín Archdiocese.
- a heart, alluding to Luke 24:32: "They asked each other, 'Were not our hearts
burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures
to us?' "
- a crown of thorns surrounding the heart, as a vivid reference of the love of
Jesus for mankind, supplying sacrifice and generosity, the values that children
and teenagers shall practice. The crown also represents the difficult situation
of the youth and the death of several of them during periods of violence.
Preserving values requires part of sacrifice in a society like ours.
- sun rays forming the heart's background, as a symbol of youth that spreads to
the society the fundamental values required to be and to live. They recall the
evidence that children and teenagers should provide to the society as a
testimony of the resurrection.

renamed it to Colegio Emanuel and maintained Garcés as the director. She was

Institución Técnica Empreserial Crecer y Construir [To Believe and to Grow]
(ITECC) was established on 1 February 1996 in borough Bariloche II, Piedecuesta
(Santander Department), as Instituto Pedagógico Crecer. The school's current
name was adopted by Resolution No. 17,058 issued in November 2005.
The
flag of ITECC is diagonally divided blue-red-green from the lower half to the
upper hoist with a white fimbriation between the colored stripes, and the
school's coat of arms all over.
Blue is the predominant color in the world,
the Earth being known as the blue planet. Most human beings need blue. This
color induces in students a feeling of calm and alleviates life's pressure and
turmoil; it permits a connection with the excessive environment laden with
stimuli most of us are exposed to. Blue also represents God's will, force, power
and divine protection.
Red represents academic dignity, meaning action,
energy, vigor, strong-mindedness, valor, leadership, force to reach goals, love
for study and dynamism required to interact with knowledge.
Green is a symbol
of hope, faith, friendship and continuous quest of lore and knowledge in a
progress society; it induces tranquility, promotes balance and self-control.
Infusing security, this color is used not only in the school's flag but also in
classrooms where new and creative ideas are generated.
The white fimbriation
represents safety, purity and transparency of human talent and academic process.
It is also a symbol of the peace that should reign in the educational community.
The coat of arms of ITECC is composed of:
- a four-pointed star with the
school's colors: blue, red and green, which symbolizes the four components of
institutional development (institutional horizon, pedagogy, administration,
projection to the community).
- four yellow awls, which represent the
fundamentals and institutional principles, symbols of the spiritual resources of
the students.
- a white ring inscribed with the school's name in blue and red
letters, charged in the lower part with a king blue scroll inscribed with the
school's motto [CREATIVIDAD - RESPETO- COOPERACIÓN / Creativity -
Respect -
Cooperation] in white letters.
- on a celestial blue background a special
emblem composed with a book in base, which represents lore and knowledge.
-
an icon made of four blue, red and green, human silhouettes, which represent
family and the student's evolution during the learning process.
- two
concentric arrows, which determine our pedagogic model, personalized and of
integral education.
- an open book, which symbolizes the progresses of
information, which are fundamental for knowledge acquisition.

I recently wrote that the Colombian Theresian educational institutes could
share a common flag, horizontally divided white-blue. My assumption, based on
two samples, was erroneous.
Colegio Teresiano de Envigado is one of the seven Colombian institutes chaired
by the Community of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. It was founded in 1969 in
Envigado (Department of Antioquia) by Sister Maria del Pilar Suárez, the then
Superior of the Community in Colombia, as Colegio Teresiano Monteblanco. In
1999, the institute was renamed Colegio Teresiano de Envigado.
The flag of Colegio Teresiano de Envigado is presented on the institute's
website as horizontally divided light blue-white-coffee brown, with respective
proportions 2:1:1 - undoubtedly recalling the Colombian national flag. The three
stripes, placed "from the Earth to Heavens", symbolize the Theresian spirit.
Coffee brown represents integral education and the woman's representation in the
Theresian values. Light blue represents transcendency. The three colors together
represent prayer as a personal relation with God and the synthesis of the
Theresian humanism.
