Colegio Cristiano El Shaddai (El-Shaddai Christian School) is a private bilingual toddlers-through-secondary education inclusive school, located in the north of Colombia, in the city of Barranquilla. It is accredited by the Colombian Ministry of National Education and certified by the European Foundation for Quality Management EFQM.〔http://www.elpupitre.com/BancoConocimiento/C/colegios_efqm_agosto_09/colegios_efqm_agosto_09.asp 〕〔http://www.santillana.com.co/santillana_formacion/sf_c_2004.php 〕〔http://www.elheraldo.com.co/ELHERALDO/BancoConocimiento/0/0breves280509/0breves280509.asp 〕〔http://www.elheraldo.com.co/ELHERALDO/BancoConocimiento/1/10breves020609/10breves020609.asp 〕 It is also in the list of the Colombian high-ranking schools for infant education, published by the Colombian Association of Preschool Education.〔http://andep-educacioninicial.blogspot.com/2009/09/nueva-certificacion-en-barranquilla.html 〕 Its inclusive education program caters to both students with typical development and disabled children. Its special education students include boys and girls who have been diagnosed with autism, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other behavior disorders. These students study along with their non-handicapped peers.〔(Noticiero Televisa )〕 The school is divided into several departments, such as the therapy center, the academic department, the office of the chaplain, and the special education department. It provides education for a population that is usually left out of the school system or receives no treatment.〔According to a 2005 national census, there are 546,431 disabled people between the ages of 5 and 16 in Colombia. 101,375 of these disabled young people are included in the Colombian school system, that is to say that only 18,55% of the disabled people at school age are receiving education. El-Shaddai Christian School is one of the 4,369 schools with some sort of programs for students with special education needs, out of the 362,532 schools in the country. See the report by the Colombian Minister of National Education at http://www.ibe.unesco.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Policy_Dialogue/48th_ICE/Presentations/IBE_ICE_Workshop_3B_Presentation_ES_Cecilia_Maria_Velez_White_Nov08.pdf〕 ==History== Colegio Cristiano El-Shaddai was founded in 1986 by Sonia Calderon,〔http://www.elheraldo.com.co/ELHERALDO/BancoConocimiento/R/rmsoniacalderon/rmsoniacalderon.asp〕 B.S. and M. Ed. in special education from the University of Arizona in Tucson,.〔http://foro.univision.com/univision/board/message?board.id=autismo&message.id=22827&page=5〕 She is also a behavior specialist from Pennsylvania State University. The school was initially named Integral Therapeutic and Special Education Center APRENDO, but in 2001 its name was changed to Colegio Cristiano El-Shaddai. When it was founded, less than 5% of the Colombian disabled children had the opportunity to go to school.〔According to a report by the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), in 1993, seven years after the foundation of Colegio Cristiano El-Shaddai, only 3,5% of the disabled children were schooled in Colombia. For further information, see http://www.oei.es/quipu/colombia/col12.pdf〕 In 1993 the school launched the Aprendo Foundation in order to give education and treatment to disabled children from low-income families who could not afford inclusive education or therapies. The foundation raised funds from the big companies in the city and secured the financial means so that a group of poor children could obtain an education and treatment.〔El Heraldo, December 21, 1996〕 In 2001, it started to offer pre-school and elementary education to students with typical development. More than 400 children with special education needs have been treated by El-Shaddai Christian School professionals. Several of those treated currently hold jobs and lead productive lives.〔 El-Shaddai Christian School has taken part in different types of workshops and seminars,〔Jornada sobre "niños excepcionales", El Heraldo, February 23, 1988 〕〔La Educación del niño especial: un compromiso de padres e hijos, El Heraldo, December 3, 1993 〕〔Sonia Calderón de Naar: Una educadora muy especial, El Heraldo, May 10, 1997 〕〔Crean capítulo internacional de educación especial, El Heraldo, May 17, 1997〕〔〔http://www.elheraldo.com.co/ELHERALDO/BancoConocimiento/R/rgnenna24/rgnenna24.asp 〕 research projects,〔Miembros del Comité Científico Fundadown en Barranquilla, El Heraldo, May 16, 1990〕 and cultural events〔Velada Navideña Infantil de Paz, El Heraldo.
