House System
Colegio Nueva Granada followes the House system tradition. Through the grades, students and teachers form part of one of the four houses (Falcons, Eagles, Hawks and Osprey). Houses compete in both academic and athletic tasks, crowning a winner at the end of the school year, depending on the overall points the house received. In 2010 the Hawks house head coach was accused of sexual molestation, the incident received wide-spread media coverage by the Colombian press.
