Liceo Victoria Regia was established in 2003 in Mocao (Putumayo) by Olga Daza
Díaz and Nubia Daza Díaz. The name of the institute was coined by William Daza
Díaz, who maintains links with the sacred world of plants and spirits. The yagé
shamanic beverage (aka ayahuasca) inspired him the name of the biggest species
of water lily, native to the Amazon river. Originally named "Victoria regia"
in 1807 by John Lindley, the Queen Victoria's water lily is now known as "V.
amazonia" (Poepp.) J.C. Sowerby, based on an earlier description of the
species.

"Colegio Eucarístico de Bogotá 'Villa Guadalupe'"
was founded on 20 January 1941 by nuns of the congregation of the
Mercederian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrement led by Mother María
de la Eucaristía Carmona. Founded on 20 March 1910 in Mexico
City by María del Refugio Aguilar Torres, Guadalupe Hernández
and María Olivares as "School of the Blessed
Sacrament", the congregation was canonically approved on 12
November 1922 by the archbishop of Mexico City as "Sisters
for the Blessed Sacrament Apostolate", and eventually
approved on 22 July 1948 by Papal "decretum laudis",
under its present name. The congregation has today 60 houses, 7
of them being located in Colombia.

The flag of the institute, as shown and described on the website
of the institute, "to be used with elegance and pride
during the community events", is horizontally divided
white-dark red ("vino tinto", lit., "red
wine").

integrity, to be reached through rectitude, honesty and loyalty.
Dark red represents a deep meaning of Eucharist (as the wine
shared by Jesus with the disciples during the Last supper) :
sacrifice and love to get liberation through solidarity.

Institución Educativa Distrital Colegio Villas del Progreso was established
in 1993 in borough Villas del Progresso, Bosa, Bogotá.
The flag of the
school is prescribed in Article 6 of the Manual de Convivencia, as follows.
The flag emphasizes sense of belonging and institutional responsibility. Its
colors represent:
White: Considered as the color of peace, it is associated
with kindness, purity, freshness and perfection. This indicates that children,
as sources of purity and kindness, register with the school to increase and
progress, in search of perfection (in all its meanings), or, at least, for
improvement in all aspects. Children and teenagers represent freshness and
vitality of their age class, and have the energy required to be educated in the
school to obtain good or better results.
Red: Symbolizes value,
willingness, vigor, joy and stability. This indicates that students are
committed to transform their life through new experiments in the school
environment, which impacts them in diverse manners: biologically, since during
their stay at the school, they physically grow, entering as younger children and
leaving as teenagers and/or adults; academically, since they acquire a range of
knowledge, from writing to more complex areas, such as physic, calculation or
philosophy; socially, since they live in an environment where they have to cope
with unfamiliar people whom they have to learn to respect and accept, whatever
their difference in customs; and, emotionally, since they change and improve
through new relations established with all members of the educational community,
forming new links (for instance, friendship), which requires all the described
characteristics symbolized by the red color.
Blue: Represents confidence,
wisdom, intelligence, conscience, knowledge and tranquility. This is associated
with the expected benefits of the education and training process offered at
Colegio Villas del Progresso, which is a calm environment where conscience can
be potentialized, allowing a better compromise with individual learning and
meetings to solve conflicts between the members of the educational community, in
an intelligent manner and with wisdom, creating a confident environment for all.
The in-text image shows the flag as in proportions 1:2, white with two blue
chevrons, the lower chevrons delimiting two triangles at the bottom of the flag,
and the school's coat of arms, vertically centered and placed near the bottom of
the flag.
The coat of arms is prescribed in Article 5 of the Manual, as
follows:
The coat of arms represents the institutional seal.
Its colors
represent:
Blue: Confidence, intelligence, the eternal sky, faith, and truth.
Yellow: Wealth, energy, light, joy, happiness, and loyalty.
White: Purity,
perfection, freshness, and simplicity.
The coat of arms of Colegio Villas
del Progresso IED represents the recognition of the human being as the axis of
the institution, through personal, familial and social evolution. Study is seen
as the base of knowledge and development. The human being is in infinite search
for knowledge, in continuous movement and in harmony with other human beings,
the natural environment, and the world. The development of knowledge means
increase of the truth of the values, honesty, perseverance and justice.
The in-text image shows an oval coat of arms with a yellow border inscribed with
"VILLAS DEL PROGRESO" (top) and "PERSEVERANCIA" (bottom). The white field is
charged in base with a stylized open book surmounted by a yellow rising sun and,
in chief, three stylized, blue human beings raising their arms.
