Instituto Departemental de Media "Antonia Santos"
CASD is the merger of two educational institutes situated in
Villavicencio, Centro Auxiliar de Servicios Docentes CASD
"Antonia Santos" (founded by National Decree No. 327,
19 February 1979) and Instituto Departamental de Media Tecnica
INDEMET (founded by Departmental Decree No. 481, 17 December
2001).
The institute is named for Antonia Santos (1782-1819), a guerilla
leader in the struggle for independence, sentenced to death by
the Spaniards and shot on 28 July 1819.
The flag of the institute has a background made of three colours
placed vertically: green, white and orange. Green represents the
immensity of our Colombian plains and forests; it is also the
colour of the Department of Meta. White represents the permanent
quest of God by the human being, the transparency of the human
being in search of the values defended by the institute:
autonomy, liberty, justice, solidarity, compromise, respect and
honesty. These seven values are represented by seven silver stars
surrounding the emblem of the institute placed on the white
field. Number seven represents in the Bible perfection in the
human being. Orange represents the daily rising of the sun, as a
symbol of the Colombian East. It also alludes to the free men
watching daily the sun.
The flag was designed by Andrés Felipe Niño Solano, student in
2006, grade 11-07, in Systems Administration.
The emblem of the institute uses the colours of the Department of
Meta (see above). The three human figures with raised arms
represents those who receive knowledge, as the base of their
subsequent development. The orange disk on the central figure
represents the daily rising of the sun (see above). It also means
that each person, while belonging to a social group, is unique
and non repeatable, and realizes himself through its own effort.
The immediate reading of the emblem is "a group of people
united for the realization of a new society". The name of
the institute is placed in the lower part of the rectangular
emblem.

You reported this flag about 10 years ago at first time, and you wrote: "Its
flag is horizontally divided yellow-green." But flag image you posted is a
white-green flag.
Now you also reported that this flag was horizontally divided yellow-green, but
the linked (archived) page shows a white-green flag.
Do you have any other source having a description about a yellow-green flag?
Zoltan Horvath, 20 September 2014
The "yellow-green" is clearly a mistaken, which has to be corrected for "white-green".
The only source is the archived website, showing a white-green flag.

Colegio Antonio Nariño was established in Bogota on 8 February 1932. In 1964,
following the death of Cecilia Marroquín, owner and director of the institute
since 1938, the institute was transferred to the Congregation of the Brothers of
the Sacred Heart, founded in 1821 in France by the Reverend André Coindre
(1787-1826), and established in Bogota since 1890. The new owners decided to
maintain the original name of the institute.
The flag of the institute is
horizontally divided red-white-red (1:3:1). Red is a symbol of the ardor of the
youth, of the energy of the beginning of life, and of the push to initiate the
struggle for surpassing and for a better word. White is a symbol of the purity
of mind, of morality and peace.

"Institución Educativa Departamental 'Antonio
Nariño'" was founded in Bogotá in 1959 by the Department
of Cundinamarca (Decree No. 334) as "Colegio Departamantal
del Magisterio". In 1965, the institute moved to a brand new
seat and was renamed "Colegio Departamental 'Antonio
Nariño'" on 3 April 1965 (Decree No. 363).
On 9 April 1975, the institute was relocated to its present site
at Canelón, Municipality of Cajicá, Department of Cundinamarca.
The flag of the institute,
as shown graphically and described on the website
of the institute, is in proportions 3:5, red with a white
triangle placed along the lower edge of the flag and reaching its
upper edge, The upper half of the triangle is blue and the emblem
of the institute, with a crest made of five yellow teeth, is
placed in the triangle.
The triangle represents the permanent and unidirectional
projection forming the teaching process, involving three
components: the students, the teachers and the supports of
knwoledge. It symbolizes also equality, perfection and
projection.
The sun symbolizes eternity, greatness, power, providence,
nobleness, fame and magnifience.
Yellow symbolizes the sun and its traditional meanings:
nobleness, wealth, power, light, constance and knowledge.
Blue symbolizes the sky and its traditional meanings: justice,
truth, loyalty, charity and beauty.
Red symbolizes fire and its traditional meanings: strength,
victory, temerity, highness and ardor.
White symbolizes the moon and its traditional meanings: purity,
integrity, obedience, firmness, vigilance, eloquence and victory.
Black symbolizes the power and its traditional meanings:
prudence, sadness, rigor, honesty and obedience.
The flag was designed by Humberto Gómez Contreras and
Miguel Oswald Martínez Palacio.
The shield of the institute is quartered. The upper left quarter
shows a portrait of "The Sphinx", the famous Antonio
Nariño, after whom the institute was named. The upper right
quarter shows the map of Colombia with a handshake, which means
"Committed to the building of a better homeland". The
lower left quarter show the Olympic rings, representing sports.
The lower right quarter shows a book, representing knowledge. The
escutcheon in the middle is made of the shield of Cundinamarca.
The shield is placed on a dhisk representing planet Earth and
charged with the name of the institute. A scroll placed below the
disk is charged with the names of the municipality and
department. The colours, yellow, blue, red, are those of the
national flag of Colombia.
The emblem was designed by Javier Alfonso Cárdenas Alonso.
On the drawing of the flag, the emblem is shown in black and
white, with a red outline for the disk, scroll and quarters of
the shield. This seems to be a gross approximation, since another
drawing of the emblem shows it with blue background, yellow
quarters, white letters and red outlines. The emblem of
Cundinamarca is placed on a white disk.
However, on a photo
showing very partially the flag (and completely the emblem), the
letters appear in black, like on the drawing, and not in white!

together with Giovanny Chamorro) on the website

third of the flag length. The overall proportions are specified

energy involved in the educational and cultural acts.
The green triangle represents hope, exuberance, fertility and

The municipal flag of Pasto has the

coincidental.

"Fundación Universitaria del Área
Andina" was founded in 1994 in Pereira, Department of
Risaralda. It is made of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty
of Administration, Marketing and Design, and Faculty of Law,
Social and Human Sciences.
The website
of the institute shows a photo of a table flag of the
institute, horizontally divided green-white, with the emblem of
the university "superimposed". The emblem clearly does
not exist on this particular flag but was added subsequently to
the image, therefore it is not possible to conclude about the
existence of a flag with the emblem.

in the background represents the mountain of La Verna (Spanish, Alvernia),
offerred on 8 May 1213 by Count Orlando da Chiusi to St. Francis of Assisi; the
saint retired there and recieved the stigmata a few years later. The Sanctuary
of La Verna was built on the mountain in 1348-1459. The mountain further
symbolizes love offerred by St. Francis of Assisi.
The flaming torch and cross shown in the upper left of the shield represents the
"Christ's light" and the virtue provided by science. The table with five books,
one of them being open, shown in the lower part of the shield, represents
science supported by God's word. The base of the shield is charged with the
institute's monogram, made of the interlaced letters "CA".
