Liceo Bella Suiza is located in the Bella Suiza housing estate, part of the
municipality of Cali (Valle del Cauca Department).
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided wine red-white-golden yellow
with the institute's emblem in the middle of the white stripe. Wine red is a
symbol of leadership, love, and passion. White is a symbol of honesty,
transparency, sincerity, and peace. Golden yellow is a symbol of spiritual
resources, joy, strength, and organization of the youth.
The emblem of the institute has the same colours as the flag. The two
concentric, red wine disks and the border symbolize knowledge, the institutional
values, and harmony. The inner disk is charged with the institute's mascot - a
bee- and the white writing "EXCELENCIA - VALORES" (Excellence - Values). The
outer disk is inscribed with the institute's name written in white letters.
The mascot of the institute is a bee, a symbol of perseverance and commitment to
work, required for continuous improvement and the achievement of our goals.

On October 22 I passed by the offices of the IPB (Instituto Preuniversitario
de Bello) (Pre University Institution of Bello), located in
Bello.
It was established in 1988.

Its flag is located
here.
However, the flag I saw seems to be the
flag
with the
logo
in the middle.
Image of flag.
I think (since I saw the flag folded, I didn't have a chance to see it all) it
is this version, since there are no colors faded in the picture, nor I recall
having seen like that, so it's just plain colors with the logo and the name of
the institution below, as drawn.

Well, the photograph shows the hoist in part to be blue, so to begin with
it's not derived from the flag with the white hoist triangle. Assuming the
charge is in the centre, to have it hang in front of the bottom hoist corner,
the flag would have to be circa. 3:5. So, if only the blue part of the flagstaff
were the hoist, it hanging so much lower would suggest a much longer flag. It
would seem more likely that the white part is not the staff, but is part of the
hoist as well: A shorter, e.g. 2:3 flag with the hoist blue over white. A likely
candidate would be two stripes blue over white.
The charge does seem to have the i and the tip of the p, from the logo. They
seem to be within a rectangle of sorts, with one corner very close to the
dividing line of blue and white. That rectangle then appears to be on a disk a
bit smaller then the charge of the national flag next to it. (For what would be
the bottom of the disk it seems to merge with the white.) That whole construct
doesn't seem to make sense, except if, like the national flag, the flag is
rotated. In that case the vertical edge of the logo box are actually aligned
with the diagonal of the flag, to make it come out upright with the flag furled
as it is here. Imagining a full circle and considering the p in the logo extends
lower than the i, I'd say there's not going to be much room for other lettering
than the ipb in the logo box.

Colegio Benedictino de Santa María was established on 17 February 1958 in
Envigado (Antioquia Department).
The flag of
the institute is horizontally divided blue-white-yellow, merging the Marian and
Papal banners. The flag to be used during special events is charged with the
institute's emblem in the middle of the white stripe.
Blue is the colour
of the Blessed Virgin, as a source of life and a symbol of water, and of
infinite space and unstained heavens. White is the fusion of all colours,
therefore a symbol of unity, family, and peace. Yellow is a symbol of light,
energy, spirit, joy, strong-mindedness; it is the colour of God and of the sun.

The emblem of the institute is made of three parts. The yellow crown outlined
in black recalls the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia and of
the Montserrat monastery, founder of the Santa María de la Asunción monastery in
Envigado. The blue shield is charged with a white flying dove holding in the
beak a branch of olive, a symbol of peace. The dove recalls Christopher
Columbus, Colombia's namesake; "columba" means "a dove" in Latin. The two waves
in the base of the shield represent the two most important rivers in Colombia,
Magdalena and Cauca, which were the very first means of transportation and
spread of culture. The yellow scroll placed beneath the shield is inscribed with
the Latin motto of the institute, "FIDES QUARENS INTELLECTUM", "Faith in Search
of Understanding", a motto coined by St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109).

yellow with the red Sacred-Heart crowned with spines.
Yellow symbolizes the sun, the fire, nobleness and charity. Its
lower part, in point, is blue with a yellow lamp, which
symbolizes the scientific thought. Blue symbolizes justice,
gentleness, innocence and devotion. The bend bears the Latin
motto Virtus et Sapientia (Virtue and Wisdom), in blue capital
letters. Bethlemitas and Medellin are written above and below the
shield respectively, in blue capital letters. The whole is
inscribed on a grey coat.

"Colegio Bilingüe Beth Shalom" was founded in 2000 in Bucaramanga by Pastors
Carlos Orlando Anaya and Emperatriz Arenas de Anaya, founding members of the
"Iglesia Comunidad Cristiana de Fe y Restauración" in 1986. The name of the
institute, "Beth Shalom", means "The House of Peace" in Hebrew.
The flag of the institute, as shown
graphically and described on the website of the institute,
is vertically divided blue-red-blue, with thin white stripes separating the
fields, and the emblem of the institute in canton.
Blue represents depth, knowledge and intelligence, as well as seriousness,
safety, confidence, harmony and friendship. It is the colour of God.

Spirit.

stripes of four different colours representing the values of the institute, love

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 Bogotá is one of the seven Colombian institutes chaired by
the Community of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. It was founded on 12 February
1962 and officially registered on 9 September 1963.
The flag of Colegio Teresiano de Bogotá is presented on the institute's website
as horizontally divided light blue-white-coffee brown. Coffee brown represents
the Earth and the soil. Light blue represents transcendency of the infinite, the
mystery of cosmos, the metaphysical dimension of reality. White, placed between
the two other colors, represent the Earth and Heavens, the finite and infinite,
the immanent and the transcendent.
