Colegio Bethlemitas is located in Medellin.
It was founded on 10 February 1947, as Colegio del Sagrade
Corazo'n de Jesu's (School of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), and
renamed Colegio Bethlemitas in 1972. The flag has a white field
with two red triangles placed in upper hoist and lower fly,
respectively, and the shield of the school placed in the middle
of the flag. Red stands for the Sacred Heart, symbol of love, and
dynamism and creativity. White stands for peace, purity and
candor.
The shield is tierced per bend. Its upper part, in chief, is
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.

and grace, placed under Mary's protection. White stands for power

Blue has been used as Mary's color in religious iconography for
the Middle Ages. White is of course the colour of virginity.Ivan

The College was founded in 1946 as Escuela (School) Federico
Ozanam. I have not been able to find out where it is located,
however. Frédéric Ozanam (Milano, 1813 - Marseilles, 1853) was
a French historian and writer. In 1833, he founded the St.
Vincent-de-Paul Society. He rejoined the French Republic in 1848
and founded with Lacordaire the Christian-Democrat newspaper
L'Ere Nouvelle (The New Era, 1848-1849).
The flag of the College is described but not shown as
horizontally divided yellow-blue (amarillo-azul). Therefore I
have used default 2:3 proportion in my image.

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. Yellow symbolizes the wealth of [mente], spîrit
and 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.

Colegio Lacordaire (Cali) - 2:3 flag, horizontally divided
black-white-yellow. <www.lacordaire.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, gives a detailed explanation
of the colour symbolics (in Spanish): Black and white are colours
specific to the Dominican Order. Yellow is specific to the
Collegio Lacordaire. Black is the colour of penitence and
mortification, necessary to reach triumph and perfection, black
absorbs light as well as prayer, study and communitiy life absorb
truth. White is the colour of purity, joy, truth etc. and
constitutes the invisible armour that shall protect the young
students from error and evil. Yellow is the colour of light and
spiritual wealth etc.
More information from 'Petit Larousse Illustre': The Dominican
Order (also called Order of Preaching Friars) was founded in 1215
by St. Dominic, a Castilan monk (c.1170-1221, canonized in 1234)
and confirmed by Pope Honorius III in 1216. The Order was founded
to fight the Cathar heresy, and its rule was a community
democratic life totally devoted to predication of God's World.
Henri Lacordaire (1802-1861) was a French priest who took the
Dominican cloth in 1827 and restored the Order in France in 1830.
He was elected deputy in Marseilles in 1848 and founded the
Christian-Democrat review 'L'Ere Nouvelle' ('The New Era'),
Because of the political troubles of May-June 1848, he abandoned
politics and journalism and devoted the rest of his life to the
restoration of the Dominican Order, establishing several schools
and colleges.
