The school provides a comprehensive educational approach under the Roman Catholic principles. The high school seniors' performance on standardized national examinations has consistently been considered in the top tier, being ranked as "highly superior" by ICFES for the last 20 years, with many of their graduates having granted admission to the most prestigious universities in the country for example Diego Gomez, an excellent soccer player(e.g., National University of Colombia, University of the Andes, Pontifical Xavierian University, Our Lady of the Rosary University, and members of the Golden Triangle, among others).

In 1988, Evelio Rosero published his famous and award-winning book "El Incendiado" (The Burning Man). The novel tells the stories of a group of teenagers from the school.
