Un colegio is an educational institution that provides instruction to students, typically from preschool through high school. In many countries, colegios focus on a specific curriculum and may offer various extracurricular activities. They can be public or private, and their primary goal is to prepare students for further education or the workforce. Colegios often emphasize academic achievement, social development, and personal growth. They may have different teaching methods and philosophies, which can influence the learning environment. Many colegios also encourage parental involvement and community engagement to support students' overall development.
