Institución Educativa Francisco Miranda was established in Medellín
(Antioquia Department) by Departmental Resolution No. 16,206 of 27 November
2002, as the merger of Colegio Francisco Miranda and Escuela Julio Arboleda
(est. by Municipal Decree No. 212 of 26 April 1952, as a splinter of Escuela
Carlos Vásquez La Torre). Upon request of its educational community, Escuela El
Bosque, established by Departmental Decree No. 352 of 11 March 1983, was
incorporated to Institución Educativa Francisco Miranda by Municipal Resolution
No. 33 of 21 April 2003.
Escuela Francisco Miranda was first established in 1886 on the today's site of
the Botanical Garden, at the time settled by newcomers who founded several new
boroughs. By Act No. 566 of 25 March 1930, the municipality of Medellín
purchased from Rafael Toro Giraldo a plot to relocate the school. Novena Escuela
de Varones Miranda, inaugurated on 13 September 1931, was eventually recognized
by Departmental Ordinance No. 21 of 28 November 1959. Colegio Francisco Miranda
was established by Departmental Resolution No. 1,313 of 1 October 1997.
The institute is named for the Venezuelan revolutionary Sebastián Francisco de
Miranda y Rodríguez (1750-1816). President of the States of Venezuela for a
short period (1812-1813), Miranda could not fulfil his project of independence
of the Spanish possessions in South America, being, however recognized as the
"Precursor" of the Bolivarian liberation.
The flag of the institute is divided blue-white-blue according to the descending
diagonal, with the institute's emblem in the middle. The blue colour in "King"
shade represents loyalty, confidence, knowledge, intelligence, faith, truth, and
eternal heavens. In heraldry, azure is a symbol of sincerity and piety, being
also a serene colour associated with intelligence and universal conscience.
White is associated with light, kindness, innocence, and purity, being
considered as the colour of perfection. White means peace, security, serenity,
faith, transparency, and purity.

The emblem of the institute is a shield of traditional heraldic shape, featuring
the institutional colours, King blue and white. The bordure of the shield
represents the source of knowledge. The bordure is inscribed in the lower part
with the motto "CIENCIA CULTURA CALIDAD" (Science Culture Quality), which
summarizes the concepts valued in the institute: Science, as knowledge obtained
through analysis, verification, recapitulation, and development of processes
oriented towards the understanding, the transformation, and the interpretation
of the world; Culture, as the result and process of permanent building of
identity, solidarity, and ways of being and living; and Quality, meaning here
the concept of continuous improvement of the educational process towards
integral education. The upper part of the bordure is inscribed with the name of
the institute.
The shield is charged in the middle with a five-pointed star that historically
represents light proper and is the emblem of "perfection and supreme knowledge",
according to the Pythagoreans. The star further represents human unity, world
peace, universal love, and the natural environment. Here, the star also
represents the five institutional values expressed in the "teleological agenda"
and forming the base of the pedagogic action: respect, supportive commitment,
sense of belonging, honesty, and responsibility. The five points of the stars
are supported by five hands representing in their colours the cultural
integration and the diversity of the educational community, and expressing our
reason for living: teaching and learning. The hands also represent respect for
the different human orientations, being political, social, gender, cultural, and
religious, among other.

The flag of the Franciscan College Fray Rafael de la Serna is
horizontally divided yellow-green. From the flying flag shown on
<www.frayrafael.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, the default proportion of the
flag seems to be 1:2.
The college was founded in 1941 in Medellin,
Antioquia and its first name was Instituto Cristobal Colon. By
ministerial order #1610 from 6 June 1953, the college was renamed
as a tribute to the Franciscan friar who founded the University
of Antioquia. YYellow symbolizes the spiritual resources, spirit
and the department of Antioquia. Green
symbolizes the hope in the youth and the exuberant vegetation of
Antioquia. It is said that the dimensions of the flag are
precise, but not what they are indeed.
