INSA is a private school founded in 1992 by a Catholic religious community of men known as the Congregation of St. Basil or Basilian Fathers based in Toronto, Canada. It is located in Aguablanca, a major sector of Cali known for some of the highest crime rates in the city.

INSA is a college-preparatory day school for children in Kindergarten through Grade 12 and currently serves 700 students belonging to the city’s lowest socioeconomic strata. It has become one of the most outstanding schools in the greater Valle del Cauca State region, as demonstrated by the following facts:

• 90% of graduating students enroll into colleges and universities.
• In 2010 and 2014, INSA’s graduating class outranked all other high schools in the Valle de Cauca region on the ICFES standardized test, the Colombian equivalent of the SAT.
• In 2013, INSA received the EdukaTIC Scratch Colombia Prize, awarded by the Gabriel Piedrahita Foundation, to the most creative educational classroom ICT strategies used by teachers of elementary and middle schools that incorporate the Scratch educational software into their curriculum.
• Because of the school’s excellent language program, which offers English, Latin, French, Italian, and Mandarin, a number of INSA students were chosen to serve as guides during World Youth Day in Rome in the year 2000, and in Toronto in 2013.
