"Fundación Universitaria del Área
Andina" was founded in 1994 in Pereira, Department of
Risaralda. It is made of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty
of Administration, Marketing and Design, and Faculty of Law,
Social and Human Sciences.
The website
of the institute shows a photo of a table flag of the
institute, horizontally divided green-white, with the emblem of
the university "superimposed". The emblem clearly does
not exist on this particular flag but was added subsequently to
the image, therefore it is not possible to conclude about the
existence of a flag with the emblem.

The flag of Colegio Alvernia, as shown on the institute's website, is
horizontally divided white-pink with the institute's coat of arms in the middle.

love kindness, good practice and moral purity, symbolized by whiteness."

The coat of arms was designed by Mother Alicia David Ramírez. The mountain shown
in the background represents the mountain of La Verna (Spanish, Alvernia),
offerred on 8 May 1213 by Count Orlando da Chiusi to St. Francis of Assisi; the
saint retired there and recieved the stigmata a few years later. The Sanctuary
of La Verna was built on the mountain in 1348-1459. The mountain further
symbolizes love offerred by St. Francis of Assisi.
The flaming torch and cross shown in the upper left of the shield represents the
"Christ's light" and the virtue provided by science. The table with five books,
one of them being open, shown in the lower part of the shield, represents
science supported by God's word. The base of the shield is charged with the
institute's monogram, made of the interlaced letters "CA".

The Institución Educativa A.S.I.A. Ignaciana is actually a school sponsored
by the Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola. Having
studied there (at Colegio San Ignacio) I have the centennial yearbook of 1985,
where they comment on the establishment of the Institución Educativa A.S.I.A.
Ignaciana.
First, there was the establishment of
A.S.I.A. Ignaciana. A.S.I.A. stands for Antiqui Societatis Iesu Alumni (in
Latin) which means
Antígüos Alumnos de la Compañía de Jesús (Alumni of the Society of Jesus).
Every Jesuit school and university around the world has its own ASIA, being
called Jesuit Alumni and gathered in the WUJA
(World Union of Jesuit Alumni). The WUJA was established on 31st July, 1956 (the
day which is commemorated as the Day of St. Ignatius of Loyola), in
Bilbao in
1956. So for example
the Colegio San Juan Berchmans in Cali has its
ASIA Berchmans, and so on, worldwide. In
fact, the latest WUJA Congress, the
VIII WUJA Congress held in 2013 from August 14 to August 17, was hosted by
ASIA Ignaciana at the Colegio San Ignacio facilities.
So after the establishment of A.S.I.A. Ignaciana, there was the establishment of
Fundación Loyola (Loyola Foundation) in August 4, 1964 by members of the
Class of 1946 (from the Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola) but quickly invited other
alumni to join them. It is a non-profit organization. They first settled where
the current Institución Educativa A.S.I.A. Ignaciana is located, in a plain
between the Municipalities of
Bello and
Medellín,
called Playón de Los Comuneros. First the Fundación Loyola started a
housing project there, but later as they saw the necessity for the
community to have its own school, Fundación Loyola started first the
"Escuela A.S.I.A. Ignaciana para niñas" (A.S.I.A. Ignaciana school for
girls), then the Liceo Femenino A.S.I.A. Ignaciana (A.S.I.A. Ignaciana
Women's Liseum) (granted recognition by the Ordenanza Departamental
No. 30 of December 17, 1967 and given the status of Centro Educativo
(Education Center) by Resolución No. 7481 of October 8, 1974 of the
Secretaría de Educación Departamental (Antioquia's Department
Secretariat of Education) on and then the Centro Asistencial John
Jairo Piedrahíta (Medical Center John Jairo Piedrahita). Fundación
Loyola purchased the land from the
Archdiocese of Medellín and established the "Liceo Centenario Ignaciano" (official name,
although most people know it simply as the
Liceo Centenario) with its official motto of "NOS EDUCARON...EDUQUEMOS" (We were
educated...let's educate).
My father,
Luis Ramiro Rivera, having been a student in Colegio San Ignacio (graduated from
Class of 1963) told me that all of his classmates and all other Alumni
Classes before his' actually donated to the charity of Fundación
Loyola to help build the "Liceo Centenario".
So the story is that the Liceo Centenario was transferred to the
Secretaría de Educación (Education Secretariat) of the Municipality of
Medellín (co-medel.html ) in 1971 and
renamed IE Pbro Antonio José Bernal Londoño SJ (Institución Educativa
Presbítero Antonio José Bernal Londoño, Sacerdote Jesuíta, Educational
Institute Presbiterian Antonio Jose Bernal Londoño, Jesuit Priest in
English) (in honor Presbiterian Antonio Bernal who helped established
the ASIA Berchmans in Cali when he was the Principal of the San Juan
Berchmans), which now operates under the Secretaría de Educación, which is one of the Secretarías of the
Alcaldía de Medellín (the executive official government body of the city of Medellín,
which depends on the Mayor of Medellín). Thus it is a public school
and as such is property of the city of Medellín. So in the land where
the Liceo Centenario stood,
Fundación Loyola with collaboration of the
Secretaría de Educación de Medellín and the
SENA
established a new school called "IE Colegio Loyola para la Ciencia e
Innovación" when it was transferred. It is important to notice that
all public schools have the prefix "I.E." which stands for Institución
Educativa (Educational Institution).

So today's "I.E. A.S.I.A. Ignaciana" was established with the help of
the misioneras Siervas de San José (missionaries Servants of Saint
Joseph) in 1971 and A.S.I.A. and its Alumni helped pay the building
costs through donations gathered by Fundación Loyola. In the beginning
the I.E. A.S.I.A. Ignaciana operated as an annex of the Colegio
Gilberto Alzate Avendaño but in March 1974 the Lice (as it was known
back then) became autonomous, being official on August 26 of that same
year. And in September 1975 the new school campus was inaugurated.

Esteban found an image of the flag of IE Pebro Antonio José Bernal
Londoño SJ (mentioned above).
The flag is grey with a decentered blue-gray-red cross with the blue
arm broader, and an emblem in the upper right quarter. This emblem
appears to be not strictly equivalent to the institute's emblem.
