Institución Educativa Colegio Santa Barbara is located in Ábrego (Norte del
Santander Department).
The symbols of the institute were designed in 1979 under the guidance of Dubis
Isabel Ditta Altamar.
The flag is horizontally divided green-red with a white triangle placed along
the hoist. Green is a symbol of the exuberant and fertile natural environment of
the beautiful valley, and also a symbol of aspiration to a better future. Red is
a symbol of a brave nation, such as the Heborucos who once inhabited the
region. White is a symbol of peace aspired to by a village culturally marred by
violence.
The emblem is made of a Swiss-shaped shield divided white-green along the
ascending diagonal. The upper quarter is white, as a symbol of peace, charged
with a flaming torch representing sporting spirit. The lower quarter is emerald
green, representing aspiration to educate leaders for Ábrego, charged with an
open book inscribed with the institute's motto, "CIENCIA Y VIRTUD" (Science and
Virtue).
In the middle is a handshake, made of the adult hand of a teacher and of the
juvenile hand of a student, conveying a feeling of friendship and mutual aid.

Colegio Santa Clara de Asis was established on 22 January 1942 in Pasto
(Nariño Department) by Sisters Meinrada Wolf, Teolina Villegas, Ana Margarita
Osorio, Rosa Margarita Mantilla and Victoria Luisa Marín. The five nuns belong
to the congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Mary Immaculate, founded in
March 1893 in Túquerres by Mother Caridad Bader.
The institute is named for St. Clare of Assisi (1194-1253; canonized on 26
September 1255 by Pope Alexander IV), one of the first followers of St. Francis
of Assisi (1181/2-1226; canonized on 16 July 1228 by Pope Gregory IX) and the
founder of the Order of St. Clare (Clarisses).
The flag of the institute is, on the obverse, pink with the institute's emblem
in the middle, and, on the reverse, green. Pink is a symbol of the joy of the
youth. Green is a symbol of search and aspiration to a promising future.
The emblem of the institute, adopted in 1971, was designed by Sister Damascena
Brunner. The shield is of modern Gothic shape, different from the ancient
Gothic shape by the point at the shield's bottom. The shield is divided by a
gray bend sinister, representing the girdle of St. Francis of Assisi. The dexter
field is red, a symbol of charity, love, force and blood, charged with a
chalice, a symbol of love, and with a bread and a cross, symbols of unity. The
sinister field is argent, a symbol of chastity, humility and limpidity, charged
with a lamp, a symbol of science. All the charges are yellow, except the candle
set in the lamp, which is red. The shield has a black bordure inscribed with
"SANTA CLARA DE ASIS" (top) and "AMOR Y CIENCIA" (Love and Science,
bottom) in white letters.
