Symbols
The school symbols represent our core values: identity, fraternity, and transcendence. At San Viator, the flag, the coat of arms, the lion and the anthem are the representation of our values. Blue and white are the predominant colours in the flag and the coat of arms. The red lion, our most important symbol, present in the flag and coat of arms, represents strength, honor and justice. The verses of our school anthem represent the educational mission and Catholic faith of our school.

Clerics of Saint Viator
Founded by Father Luis Querbes in 1831, the Congregation of the Clerics of Saint Viator emerged in response to the social challenges of France at that time. Father Querbes, inspired by evangelical models and recognizing Saint Viator as patron and protector, dedicated himself and the Clerics to the mission of educating and celebrating the faith within communities. Today, after 188 years, Querbes' dream has transcended borders, and the mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ while nurturing and celebrating faith continues to inspire young people and families. The community members, including educators, clergy, associates, and priests, carry the responsibility of fostering education, spiritual life, the Eucharist, liturgy, and community bonds. In Colombia, the Clerics are part of the Province of the United States.”
